Question Your Thoughts (Engine)

My SVX currently has 232k on the engine, and it is leaking oil and making a god-awful squeaking noise when I hit the throttle. I was thinking about doing a total vacuum hose replacement and changing a bunch of gaskets (intake, throttle, value covers, oil pan, maybe head too), but it seems like a lot of work. I thinking of leaning towards a total engine replacement instead.

I got a quote from a local tune shop in Denver, and they want $1,600 just for labor on the swap. Sounds like a rip-off to me.

Is it worth rebuilding the engine instead of getting rid of it?
