It all depends on how much your cousin bought it for and what it came with. If you don't know what you're doing, buying a complete motor and swapping it in would be most logical.

It's not worth it to try to piece parts together if you know little to nothing about motors.

It all depends on how much you know. If you have never done a simple oil change before, I wouldn't suggest it.
