I would go with the 3L but I am already tight on cash.

That isn't even including tags and insurance for my new car...

I have this engine that has the spun bearing with 73K miles and then I have another car, a 99 Cougar with 97K miles and a working engine.

Should I swap engines or should I repair the one in there?

Has anyone rebuilt their lower engine?

I'm sure people have done engine swaps, is there anything really hard I should know about?

How long should either project take me? I have access to a race car shop with a lift, engine crane, impacts everything... Pretty much whatever I need... Including a helping hand...
