Which way to go? Options

[BudmannG]

I am now in need of a motor for my 96 talon. So I have been doing some searching on the net.
I found one on GatewayDSM, JDM for $700.00.
Or go this route of rebuild rebuilt motor
If anyone has a better or cheaper way, I am open to opinions.

I am done asking stupid questions until I get a game plan going.

no, it's definately not a stupid question, the problem is that it's too difficult for us to hope to answer for you. furthermore, you're right for asking yourself this now, before you arrange for modifications that aren't in line with your end goals, whatever they may be.

again, take some time, do a lot of research online and plan, plan, plan. remember the old saying measure twice and cut once? well, let's apply it here, but say 'plan and revise the plan untill you've exhausted your possibilities, and then execute once'.
