Good idea? My friends dad is wanting to sell it. It needs tranny work and the head blew so that would need to be replaced, but other than that, it's great. He recently replaced the pistons, re-bored it and he said he polished somthing, but I can't remember what he said. It's only got 5,000 miles on the engine block. He never really went off-road with it, and when he did he cleaned everything and everywhere. Theres no mud on it. The tires have great tread, so that's good. Got like a safari bumper thing. It's an automatic , 4x4.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace the head?

Should I get it and do an engine swap with an s-10 5-spd?
