I have a chance to rebuild the 427 that's in my car as part of an Engines class I'm taking here at the Naval Academy this January. I've been told that an engine rebuild can cost anywhere from $3,000-$4,000 so I'm thinking this is a good deal. The car smokes during start up and under acceleration. I'm thinking while I have it apart, I may as well replace everything. Also, the car had severe engine knock when I got it...the timing was about 12 degrees advanced. I don't know how long it was like that or what internal damage was caused.
What is the general consensus with this? How much should I replace? Should I even mess with it? Say I would spend $1,200 on parts to take out and put back in.
