So i sent my '59 L6 226 out to the machine shop to be looked at as it clearly needed a value job as only two cylinders where firing and no compression in the other 4. Well, the diagnosis is not good. To keep it short i need to spend no less than $1200 on parts (bearings, pistons, valve job, magnaflux, cleaning, etc) and labor which doesn't include my time putting it back together. My other concern is that the cab is in really rough shape. Doors and floor are shot. I probably need to find another one without so much rust. I basically need to do a full restore from the frame up. I'm thinking of bagging the whole thing and then sell off the parts as is. Or do I keep moving ahead and put thousands of $ into it. Looking for what you would do? I'm on the fence and its keeping me up at night tying to decide what to do. If I complete the motor rebuild, what do you think it is worth if i sold it as a stand alone? Which would mean i would stop moving ahead with the restore? I appreciate any feed back you may have. Thank you!
