RE: rebuilt engine
what do you plan on doing with your motor because i don't believe you need a forged kit unless your running boost but i think it a little pricy but i don't know what your budget is you could get a stroker for a couple more 100 bucks

RE: rebuilt engine
if you are wanting to boost then a fredual moguel is not the kit for you you need to find either a set of 17cc pistions or stick with the 10.5 cc pistions and get a head the is not the pi head cc chamber of 43cc

RE: rebuilt engine
The way things have been going on Ebay, I personally would have a hard time spending more than $100 on there, and NOT use an Escrow Service to mitigate the transaction...
George,
Personally, if I were you, I'd look at getting a decent used engine, low mileage, and just freshen it up. When I mean freshen, I mean replace a lot of the gaskets (oil pain, Oil filter housing, valve cover, plenum, anything that is prone to leaking), take some time to clean all of the crevices, and go over the wiring, replace vac. lines, and make sure that the engine is good to go.
You may want to also swap in some cams, and do the timing set as well.. I mean, I can atest to the durability of these engines, especially if you get a newer, PI engine from the get-go...
Another great thing about that, is that you can swap over the majority of your Accessories, and other modifications. That alone will save you loads of money....
Plus, after the swap, you can still pull your old engine apart, find out what was wrong and either fix it or sell it to defer the cost. Unfortunately, that takes a little time, but in the end, I'm sure you'll be more than happy...
Happy boosting...
