I have been looking for a built short block close to me but I have found 2 built longblocks. I already have a built 1g head with upgraded Springs and 1mm oversized valves. I am trying to decide which one of these longblocks to get. Each of the engines are 6 Bolt blocks Eagle rods and wiseco 9.0:1 Pistons. The similarities end here though.
Engine #1 has 25k mi on it, and a lightly ported otherwise stock 2g head. It also comes with a 2g intake manifold. I can see it run and check it out before I buy it. This engine is $300 more than #2.
Engine #2 was rebuilt a few years ago, but never installed or ran. It has a stock rebuilt 1g head. Essentially it is a 0 mile engine.
So the question is, do I choose the engine that I can see run for more money, or buy the fresh, 4 year old, 0 mile engine?
