because a few people owned it before i did and i know the engine has been over heated badly a few times because they didnt know there was a manual switch to turn on the rad fan and i figured if i was getting a cam kit and a rebuild kit for the transmission and a new timing set and opti and headers i may as well get the engine done to but what do you guys think? i know the opti is bad because someone got it wet before and the car sputters and works terrible for the first few minutes you drive it and it hesitates sometimes but once you drive it for a few minutes it works great but i want it to work better and have more power
IMO, if it has good oil pressure and good compression, there's no real reason to spend the money, unless it's something you would feel is worthwhile doing. How many miles are on the short block?
