Re: 9 main 327 - to rebuild, swap, trade?

Just my two cents but I would rebuild. The 327 9 main is a superb engine. You might get a good swap but you might find yourself in the same predicament with another engine. With rebuilding you would know what you have and if the work is done well, will be every bit as reliable as any new engine. Until you tear it down you won't know exactly what the problem is and you may find it is not as serious or need as much in the way of new parts as you think. Even if it does need some work, with the rest of the car in such nice condition IMO it would be a good expenditure.
