So, I think I am a few weeks out from getting a new engine in my st165 and I have decided on 1 of 2 paths. Rebuild the 1st gen to stock or by a 4th gen. Not looking at major performance here as I have only driven a trac consistently for 2 months in my life lol. Need to drive one for longer before going balls deep.
My reason for posting is to figure out estimates for both. So I will post what I think I know and just want people to add what they know or what I am forgetting.
1st gen rebuild:
400 for block and crank machining and cleaning EST.
350 for rebuild kit
??? for head cleaning/machining
4th gen install
1000 for engine on ebay EST
200 for engine shipping EST
??? for flywheel, since most engines on ebay are auto
300-600 for wire harness conversion EST
Thanks for any input. I am leaning towards a 1st gen rebuild due to cost, but the power bump on the 4th gen is very tempting.
