What to do next ?!
Ok, here is where I am at, and the situation I am running into. I have three 7's. an 85, 90 Vert, and a 93. Here's where I am at.
85 - almost time for another rebuild. 50,000 miles on mild streetport
90 - Original engine. Showing some signs of degradation, but needs power desperately!
93 - was T-boned by a woman running a light. But had 40,000 on a rebuild. Stock ports.
I do plan on down the road (aways down the road...) getting another 3rd gen. but I have a perfect drivetrain now, and here's what I am thinking... and waiting for Ray to chastise me for this, but I have 2 good 13B's. Was thinking about rebuild and port the REW for the 85. Rebuild and port for the vert. But that leaves me with my 12A. I do want to keep the 12A, rebuild and larger port, prolly P-Port it and throw it back in the 85. Put the REW in the vert but that leaves me with the 13B in the vert....
So If you were me, what do you think, are there other options I'm not seeing or what would you do.

how is the 85 time for ANOTHER rebuild at 50k? mine has bout that much on it and i don't plan on building it again hopefully for at least another 50k. build and port the 90, store the rew for when u get another fd in case it needs an engine when u get it.

I say the 85 is ready for what I use it for. It has 4 years of hard abuse from Auto X and made it every year to the dragon. I do not give her a break at all when I drive her. It seems when I do take it easy she just doesnt like it
I have noticed more gradual oil consumption, and minor loss of power. I am sure compression is still good. I'd just like to keep her in top condition and plus its easy to do with minimal cost.
So, Store the REW, and just go with porting the 85 and the 90
I like.
Any more Ideas?
