    Would it be cheaper to rebuild my stock 200ci engine or to replace it with a 302?

    Depends on what you want to end up with. If the goal is a 302 car then rebuilding the 200 is money thrown away. If you still need a 302 you may have to get that rebuilt anyway, unless you know the car it came out of. I guess the answer is the 200 would be cheaper if you would be keeping it that way.:)

    What is your problem you are having that you are considering a rebuild?
