Default Motor is Toast

Ok after a 195,000 miles my motor is toast. I need to replace it i was just thinking about getting a 306 from this place on ebay sounds like a good deal. I would just like some input on this.

I wouldn't just because the block is .40 over, but that's me.

if the walls of the cylinders look good, id just put new rings, bearings, and gaskets and slap it back together. cost less too.

.30 over wouldnt be bad at all. But for much cheaper you can do it yourself.

Its your money. doesnt seem like to bad a deal, but id much rather buy the rings and bearings and work with what i have. (like im doing this winter.)

plus you have to add shipping, im sure its going to be right at $100 just to ship that. My T5 was $75 to ship and it was smaller and A LOT lighter!
