Default I think i need a new engine

Well i think i might need a new engine.

i was thinking about the one on the left, and do those come ready to run? or do i need to do more to it. I might have a cracked block and i might just replace the engine if so.

Well, if you cant seem to find out wether you have a cracked block or not why dont you take it to a shop and be 100% sure before you go ahead and start making plans to buy another motor. Unless, its just an excuse to get a new one

Well, for 2K you should buy buy a 331 shortblock from CHP or something like that. Dish out a few hundred and you will be set.
