Why are you just going to buy the bottom end? It would cost so much more to piece it together with head, wiring harness, trans, ecu, manifolds, fuel injectors/rail, mounts, belts/accesories, everything. Just buy a complete swap.

200 is a good deal, but it's everything else that is gonna run the price way up.

About 3-5k. But it's a lot easier than trying to find EVERY little piece to put the motor completely together.

Buy it and sell it for $600, it will probably sell fast, and you made a $400 profit, that much closer to buying a full swap.

You're buying the cheapest piece of the swap. Spend a little time researching all the other required parts.

By short block, do you mean literally just the block, or the complete motor? If just the block, then yeah, everything else will be a lot more expensive.
