First concern - price. Money is very tight for me right now, some tax issues going on, plus wife is a full time student. I don't like to shop by price (that's the wal-mart mentality), but I have confidence that Kurt is going to be selling a good product.
Second concern - availability / convenience. The motor is available NOW, I want my car back on the road ASAP. Kurt's shop is only 2 hours from me, so it is close enough for me to pick up without shipping fees.
Kurt is taking my motor as a core. core charge $3500 otherwise, which is probably more than I'd get selling it on my own, given the high miles on it. That is minus the IHs, plenum, TB, and accessories - I have a hard time believing that my well worn block/heads/pistons/rods/crank etc would be worth any more than that to someone else.
