Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask about this (I'm still new) anyway, the 403 in my 79 trans am has finlly kicked the bucket. I found some magntic metal shavings in the oil but it still maintains good oil pressure (40 cold idle 20 hot idle 50-60 when on the throttle hard) nor does it knock, tick, or burn oil. The only obvious signs of anything wrong is a little bit white steam from the valve cover breather but it's been doing that since I bought it and the odometer has rolled over 1,000 miles ago Anyway, I know I'll have to get the full story on what went wrong when I pull the motor and tear it apart but before I go though all that trouble would I even be able to rebuild it with a budget of $3,500? I'm not really looking at making a ton of power or anything like that I just want it to be reliable so I can enjoy my car again.
