I agree, build a short block on the side and as $$ allows add parts. On one of the other forums a guy just sold a rebuilt short block for 750.00 he had 1800 in machine work in it. I purchased a back yard rebuilt with all accs and harnessed/ecu for 850.00 that's going into a jeep. My engine builder took a look at it and said it was done right. I purchased iron heads (100.00 brand new) and for under a G note for everything ready to drop in.
