hello list, i was wondering if anyone might have some insight into the pros and cons of a motor and tranny replacement versus rebuild. does it make more sense to rebuild ones own engine or try and find a strong used, or rebuilt one? also, is there anyone anywhere that has syncro transmissions for sale, or again does it make more sense to keep what you have and rebuild it? i am inclined to rebuild what i have, because then one would know what was inside, but are there better alternatives? curious in mass, moon p.s. anyone know of a syncro that was wrecked in the front, with a good motor/tranny? p.p.s. it seems to me that the big problem with syncro's is that if/when the driveshaft gets a wobble in it, it starts to beat the motor and tranny to death, does this sound right?
