i can get a redtop sr20 with 20,xxx miles for $250.
im wondering if i should save and buy a motor set (trany,wiring,ecu. etc) Or pick up the long block, rebuild it and source all the parts... if i get the longblock i would have to source EVERY part needed from hoses to manifolds. would i be spending more piecing every part or more with the motorset then rebuild that motor. trying to build a Reliable DD Sr. let me know.

here is what i get.
