okay so let me try and be more constructive here.

How difficult? To be able to answer your question accurately, we need to know how confident are you with working on a car and if you have all the necessary tools to do the job. Some people say a turbo/injector/fuel pump is hard. You might feel the same, or you might think it's easy. Maybe u can try and utilize some of the websites out there like "how things work" and do some reading on your own.

I understand it has a bent connecting rod or some such.....
I might be interested. For a 'project'.

I don't think my project would teach you much. Unless you want to learn to make 'art' or 'furniture'.

Yeah, exactly why I mentioned it. My reasons for looking for a used block are way different.

Hope you can find one, though.

Thanks for the offer. Someone has already offered me something, and yeah. This is going to be my experimental guinea pig, and yeah. I won't feel bad if I screw it up... because it is already broken.

Not sure where I am going to build it. I'll probably do it in my mom's garage in Fremont which is like 10 minutes away from the dealership. Haha.
