Depends. Is it just a rebuild or blown motor? What are your plans for the motor?

 

to just get it back to running conditions...but trying to get 200whp....

 

anyone...help...

 

You havn't told us what is wrong in the first place. Hard to answer a question when all the necessary info hasn't been revealed.

If you are simply throwing a new set of rings and bearings in an old motor, that shouldn't take more than a weekend if it is your first attempt, and will give you a good fresh start.

 

well i blew motor...so i found out that i have a whole in one of my piston with a smash spark plug from that cylinder...might have a bent valve but not sure yet...havent taken out the motor yet...still in the process...been alittle busy with school and work...but yea...thats all i know for know...

 

Sounds like a re-buildable one. Pull it apart and find out.

I would do whatevers cheaper. I would rebuild the motor myself. However I'm not sure of your mechanical skills so this may not be cheaper than buying whole new motor.

X2. Sounds like new valves, and new pistons... but if you're not mechanically inclined then

 

I would probably purchase a ITR long block and just use my transmission off the USDM blown motor you have and swap everything over to that. Most of those JDM motors are pretty healthy depending on where you purchase it from.
