Adam,
Most of what you're paying is labor. The places offering re-built engines
usually work in assembly line fashion, versus you want -your- engine rebuit
(which, IMO, is a good thing).
If you have the time, a close machine shop that you trust, and a second car,
you can probably rebuild the engine yourself. That would have been my
choice, rather than having to have dealt with being sent a defective
engine.
And you're right, -if- you can find a good used engine in a wrecked car,
it'd be cheaper to buy that instead. I've done that before, but only
because I new the owner and I new he took good care of the care before he
flipped it.
My two cents.
