[QUOTE="blackstallion19, post: 15081640, member: 36343"] Hey everybody, I picked up a cheap 1990 5.0, with about 97k miles. Needs a little love but overall runs OK right now. But it looks like I'm having oil pressure issues. When at a warm idle, the pressure drops to zero on the STOCK gauge and goes back up while driving. I already ordered a mechanical gauge and a braided line to see if that's the issue. But ignoring that for now, even if it turns out to be just the stock gauge being as junky as we all know it is, I want to do a basic rebuild using one of the kits from Summit Racing. No machine work for now. I also want to do the top end. Probably just a trick flow kit. So my question is simple. Does it make sense to do the rebuild and the top end all at once, since I have to go through a shop and simply don't have the time or resources to do it myself? In my head, it makes sense to do it all at the same time. But if I'm overlooking something I'd appreciate any input all of you have. Also if anyone has any ballpark figures as to what the labor cost would run me I'd be forever grateful. Thanks a lot. -I [/QUOTE]
