I have a 253 blue motor sitting in my back yard at the moment, and I want to rebuild it to throw it in my Pajero or in my Jeep.
My question is what kind of upgrades should I do to it? I need to throw new pistons in it (supposedly one of them cracked). And put a new carby on it (friend 'borrowed' it).
I want it to sound nice and have a good amount of power for going off road. Like to keep the price around the $2,000 to $3,000 mark. But may go over if its worth it, will go under happily lol.
I was thinking (but not entirely sure, the only old engines I have lots of experience with is Hemi and Mopars mainly).
* 'Lumpy Cam'
* Extractors
* 4-Barrel Carby off a 308
The Pajero has the 5 speed manual gear box (used to have a turbo diesel motor in it) and a good body.
The Jeep needs basically everything.
