Ok, so my 1932 Ford Roadster (pic below incase some of you have never seen it) has a problem. One rocker arm has broken (luckily the valve did not drop into the cylinder and damage a piston) we have not taken the intake off yet to see if the lifter jumped out of the hole into the valley or if it is still in there. I know that the cam could be toast but we do not know for sure until we tear apart the motor. I know that it will be by far cheaper to fix the motor that i currently have, but I started thinking is this the time to do a motor swap. AKA swap in a LS1. I feel fairly confident that I can find a low mileage LS1 for cheap. What has set this off is that I have never been in love with the motor in the 32, it has way too high of compression, too big of a cam for its own good and it has a carb on it which I hate. All things that can be fixed in this rebuild. But would I think if I fix the 350 that is in it and sell it to someone, then take the money that I get off of that motor plus some of my own I could get in a ls1 fairly cheap. Should I just fix what I have or should I man up and put a ls1 in it?
