Oil Starvation rebuild???

[fox3279]

Is it worth rebuilding an engine that was oil starved for a quarter mile? The engine has seemed to seize car will not turn over anymore. Or any ideas how i can get the car running again this in the shortest amount of time.

As long as you are ok with paying for machine work. Does it turn over?

Head out to a yard and see if there is a side/rear smashed up 2G with a 420A motor in it that is still runnable.

I saw a thread a few days ago where a guy got a 420a long block off Craigslist for ~$300.

no it doesn't

oops

Yeah man I picked up a 420a longblock for $200 local. You can get them cheap!

Cheaper than working on a block that need repair (and it could be cracked where you'd have to toss it anywhos-and there is money spent and lost in finding out this one issue), or can't be repaired.

DODGE motors are dime a dozen cheap.

Go to a speed shop and have them do a tear down and inspect it. It should only cost a couple hundred buck and they can rebuild after they have it tour down !

Come on guys... the obvious thing to do here is 4g swap it...

Check the yards for a long block man, you didn't really give enough information to tell if it's cracked or threw a rod or something, but I would guess it's trashed.

I somehow drove 200+ miles without an oil cap and no oil in the car before mine threw 2 rods and trashed my block... I think I was sabatoged
