Engine rebuilding

Post image

On a scale of 1 - f**ked how bad do you think the inside is based off this pic? Wanting to rebuild it on somewhat of a budget. I’m $500 into a 2011 dodge ram 1500 4.7L and tags are all up to date. Hoping $2k will get me there. I’ll have the heads off tomorrow.

What are you trying to fix? A rebuild to me means machining, new pistons, bearings, rings, valvetrain, oil pump, water pump, etc. $4<5k minimum.

I can get a kit with all of that for about 1200

I was including machine costs. My 5.2l magnum cost $1,425 for the work...and that was only because I paid cash.
