whats the least expensive but best way to rebuild my engine? i have the 7afe and would like to rebuild it or at least get an idea so i can save up. i kinda do want to do a swap because of the issues and the money you have to put towards it but what can any one do? anyways if some one near by would be able to help that would be really good only because i dont want some mechanic to do it and not know what he has in hos hands so to be safe some one thats knows the car would be nice... thanks for the help

p.s. if its in the wrong forum plzz move

thanks guys for the feed back it really calms me down a bit because the engine just hot 175,000 and it doesnt feel right to me any more, like idk abiut mechanics or what not but on the highway ill be going at 70mph and the engine is up a 3,000 to 3,000 rpm and it feels soooo slow and it itakes some time to go a lil faster. im not in to racing or turbos more in to the look of the car but i would like to have a pretty good engine you know? presure you got ur engine swapt right? did you do it your self or had help? i know some of the guys up north do it (mass) but idk if i would leave the car up there over night. its like my baby..
