What would you do?
Besides the obvious wait for the original engine to go bad or die, what would you do with a j32a2 sitting on an engine stand? What could be done? Built internals? etc

How many miles on the block? Fresh seals, timing belt, valve adjust, water pump. Just depends on how far you want to go. 3.5L upgrade?
