I highly doubt that motor would need rebuilt unless it had some very hard use or ran low on oil. I highly doubt your going to get all of that with a grand even with a good discount. I would either get a set of heads or go with a intake/cam/exhaust to get you going. 2.02/1.60 is probably going to be a little much much flow for what you would have. Are you goign to run carb or f.i.? If you are goign to run carb. on that motor i would switch out your distributor from your 84 and use a steel gear. I would also swap out your timing chain cover so that you can use your mechanical fuel pump.

get an 8.8 if you're planning on putting on a h/c/i combo.
