Sometimes there is no choice but to replace. But it pays to way all the options outs for sure. It is always nice to save a few bucks by being able to fix things yourself or with friends. Plus the pride in knowing g you did it. There is no way to know what way is best, though sometimes the condition of the parts in hand dictate which way we go.
A good used motor is another way to save money, if you can find one. Over the last 15 years I have put hundreds in cars and only had small number less than 10 ever be bad when I put them in. So less than 1%.
But no need to do any if his motor still has good life in it. Cause no way around, reman, rebuilt, used it's a large bill to get it back up and going.
Jim if you have any questions about checking the condition of yours out just pm me and I will do what I can to help you check it out

More hp does not have to come at the expense of higher compression of more fuel. You just have to use what you have most effectly. Alot of tines there is more fuel due to bad adjustments, thst us not being burnt or wasted. Doing things to make the motor more efficient makes my hp without adding more compression or heat. In fact burning all the fuel the correct way will actually decrease temps. Things like correct cans having enough lift and duration matched to head flow. Heads thst flow better or actually have more velocity will mix the air fuel better making more hp. You can add 20 to 50 hp to most 260hp 5.7s and not have to touch pistons. Alot of time 205hp can be gained in just carb and intake. Another 20 to 30 easy with heads and valve work done correctly. Nothing about cam and pistons changed. And carbs can be set up to be quite effenent. But they take work and adjustments where fi just does all that for you
