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.
From my view based upon this situation this is the best case scenario for Andrew. Case in point my car has been down since May of last year. For a stock set up with a whole lot of new parts makes this a pretty good solution. My rebuild has taken forever all because of mostly time issues along the way. This gets Andrew back on the road in the least amout of time possible
