Default Your opinion is needed

I need your opinion guys. my 2jzgte gave up and and i was wondering if it's worth rebuilding it or just buy another 2jzgte. My motor suffered from oil starvation so rebuilding it is not going to be cheap. Or just do a 5.7 tundra swap or Ls1? So what do you guys say? thanks

i would rebuild. Its not cheep but you will have a brand new engine. Thats better imo then buying another engine in unknown condition.

...or you can get a GE block and build it with GTE or aftermarket goodies for a fraction of the price.
