we don't agree but be fair. You can't say a used motor is considerably cheaper than a rebuild. No kidding. Odds are pretty good that if I go to the boneyard and grab a 454 its been rebuilt at some time. Especially if its 25 years old and not in an RV. Just saying.

About a month ago I had a chance to grab a 6l for 1500 with everything for a swap minus trans. It was rebuilt at some point and I am sure that I could have it in a truck for under 3k including tuning. Sometimes you can get a deal. I passed by the way. I needed an axle so my play money was gone or I would have grabbed it.
