Well here is my opinion on both..

If you are going to keep the car stock with very limited power upgrades you and can get a rebuild. You want the numbers and all the paper work to match. Also with a reperable local builder you have the ability to take it back to him if something goes wrong rather than emails and phone calls...

For some ordering thier engines are the best way to go. It's done and all you do is drop it in and go.. You have all the parts you want and some are even dyno'd so there is no guessing at how much Hp your making.. Also if they move alot of product you can get some very good deals..

Me i do reseach. i go to the track and talk to alot of guys and find out who is doing there work and make my descision from there for my local builder.. because i don't have the cash to kick out 3 to 5 grand for a create I work with a local builder. where you can buy all the parts and have then put it together..


hope this helps
