I recently bought a 1995 bandit 150 chipper with a ford 2.3 engine. I just got it apart and its got a hole in the piston, so it needs a complete rebuild or replace with something else.
My question is, Is the 2.3 worth rebuilding ? It will cost over $1000 I will be chipping up to about 8" . Or would I be better off trying to find somthing with a little more power ? Can any one tell me what other motor will bolt up. Can I use somthing out of a mustang or ranger ? I know my 2.3 is an industrial motor so Iam guessing it has a smaller cam to make power down low. Thanks..
