Rusty, What are you planning to do with your car? If you are planning to use it a lot and drive across the country and keep it for decades, then you should consider the Burtz block. If you are going to drive it occasionally then a used motor like Bob is offering, post #3, is just fine.

Also, if you plan to enhance the engine performance with a high compression head and a larger carburetor, and add an overdrive, then consider the Burtz block. If you do the work yourself, he Burtz block is about the same price as a quality rebuild. You will need experience with rebuilding modern engines to work on the Burtz block.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
