why not rebuild the 26? less work and stronger than a 2.4L stroked rb20

I'll agree with that. Rebuilding the RB26 will yeild you more a more powerful and reliable powerplant.

No question about it, RB26. Unless there's a hole in the block.

If its just a blown headgasket or bad rings, then it should be cake.
