[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 429903, member: 19498"] Not knocking Walts suggestions, but its been my experiences to go rebuilt. I think finding a decent 258 will be tough. Second find out why the OE engine cooked. bad radiator or and address that. Id buy a quality long block ,no CHINA JUNK parts, or rebuild yours if there is a good rebuilder in your neck of the woods who will use quality bearings,cam,pistons etc,etc. There is nothing worst than doing all the work of swapping an unknown used something only to find out its junk. A warranty is great provided your willing to pull that ran like new "used engine" and start over again whilst hoping to get your money back for the first go around of junk. [/QUOTE]
