Default Rebuild or Buy New

Finally got the 00 PY ITR home. After a 1200+mile jounrey on a trailor. Im still in bum expletive iraq. My question is when i get back i was going to either clean up the engine bay and rebuild the motor or i was going to buy a brand new motor 0Miles from acura and build that and put back in it. its about 4000 for complete block, and cyclinder head. Just going to use all the old parts from the car besides the dizzy and IM going with some ITB's.

Consering you guys should i just rebuild the old motor save some money or get a new motor 0 miles and keep it all stock and looking gorgeous?

Only think that isnt stock on this car is seats (spoon racing seats), takata harness, koyo radiator, samco hoses, and spoon ign wires, n1 pulley kit, eveything else is 100% JDM or Stock

Do whatever it is you feel like...nobody can decide that for you....and if you are considering reselling it then maybe u might want to rebuild the original motor because some people shy away from swapped cars....but hey a brand new motor from acura wouldnt deter me personally as long as I trusted the shop that swapped it

Yeah, i'd do what you feel like...
Rebuilding it would definitely be cheaper and save you some cash. You could also clean it while it's being rebuilt...
