I have a 96 240 and I just blew my motor and I need another one ASAP. I can get a complete used one from a 96 for 250 bucks with 120k on it or a long block thats reconditioned with new piston rings, bearings and valve seals for 1000 bucks. the used one looks pretty good it just came out of the car last week or so for an SR swap. I know I am taking chances on the used one but is it a bad chance? Let me know what you guys think I should do.
