where do you get $4500???? and why would you want a rebuilt 5cyl?????? ANY USED 5cyl is as good as a rebuilt one...prolly even better!!! there is no need to rebuild the 5cyl. THEY DONT GO BAD. i just bought a rearended '86 5000 turbo for $500 that i drove home from wash DC to Allentown, pa......150k and it ran strong! i was doing 85-90 mph all the way back on I-95 ( i was racing my friend who was driving my '84 5000 turbo :<) (ps, watch those delaware cops ;<)

think about it.....
