Default Well, im going for a loan today.

Just signed up with the credit union at my work. Headin over to their place today to see if i can try to get a $2,000 loan. Wish me luck guys!

Will that be enough for a rebuild? If not, id like to buy a nice used engine, and get some nice externals, msd igniton, red top battery, h/o alternator etc.

Dude i wouldn't want to rebuild the engine if I were you. The block itself is probably shot.

Your best bet is option number 2.

Well im at the office right now, the signature loan, for cash, is about 16%, so that's a negative. Im going for a $5000 or $6000 used car loan at about 9%. Get myself a new used blazer!

Depends on what your driving style and use for the truck is. If you live in a rural area where theres plenty of trails, then hell yea! 4x4 and lin-nerd skin-nerd crankin all the way!!! But if your in an urban area with plenty off asphault and booty bass shakin, and you know how to "drift" the night away, bust an extreme.

Just my 2 cents.
