200 dollars? Is it just block halves? Does it come with everything (pistons, rods, crank)? Sounds to me like it don't have that...or it's blown if it's that cheap.
Long block or short block? What do know about this motor? Sounds like it might have some issues. FWIW that $200 block turns into $2000-$2500 really damn quick. Trust me.
Don't buy a damn thing until your current running motor dies. Then you start looking into Hybrid options or a complete 2.5L swap. I'd go the later route. Once again; Trust me.
