Well I'm planning on retiring my 95 (probably parting it out) and swapping the drive train into my 87 Brougham this summer.
My question is....The LT1 has about 136k miles on it. It does leak a little oil but not much. I always keep the oil full etc. and it runs great. Is it worth taking it to a re builder and having a full on rebuild done before swapping it in or do you think I could get away with replacing some seals/gaskets and just cleaning up the block etc?
What are your opinions? I know it's hard to say without seeing the inside of the engine and looking over the cylinders etc but what route would you guys go?
