[QUOTE="intermatic, post: 13595661, member: 100111"] I just heard back from the shop after sending my car in. 2 weeks ago, my car shut down on me when driving on the highway. It somehow managed to have leaked all the oil (shop thinks someone drained my oil) and the engine seized. The shop told me that the block and heads are fine but I need a new rotating assembly. I’ll probably end up going with manley rods, diamond pistons, and a new crank. They told me that the cams are most likely okay as well, but that we could talk about possibly replacing them if that’s something I wanted to do. My question is, do you guys think that because the engine is already out of the car and disassembled, that some new cams would be more of an option for me to consider, price wise, as opposed to someone wanting to do cams that has not already had the motor pulled? I’ve mainly read on here that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze when it comes to power gains vs price, but seeing as my engines already out, maybe it’s worth it? (I’m planning on purchasing a 2.3 tvs for it once the engine has been assembled and back in the car as well) What do you guys think? I have a 2003 cobra w/ basic mods - pulley, exhaust, CAI, and 125 dry shot (nitrous to be removed with this shop visit). [/QUOTE]
