So that is $1200 AND fix your engine? The value of any good working part used usually ends up being 50% of the new price, assuming its complete and that equates to ~$1600 and minus a few hundred for the fuel parts, so maybe $1200 is a fair deal without the repairs. However, if he fully repaired the motor, that would be like a $1000 -$1200 anyway, so you might be smart to take a few hundred and the repair job and call it a day. If you were close to Texas, I would go ahead and repair it and do some enhancements to the cylinder head for the kit. (Assuming I have some more time!!!! damnit!!!!)

Anyway, that is my take on it. The benefit to you is getting the engine repaired since you'll spend most of what you make on the repairs at a shop, the benefit of someone working to earn the S/C is that they only pay for parts and labor equates to a portion of the S/C's value.
