Since I need a car sooner than later, I think I'll buy a running engine now and put it in. I can rebuild the current one if it's not too bad on the inside and then I'll have a ready spare for next time (hopefully in 10 years).

A Volvo restorer one state over from me has two engines I am considering. One is a 1974 B20F street performance engine with IPD cam and .020 overbore that is running in a restored car and the other is a engine from a 1966 1800 that performs well on the test stand with 130 compression all around and 50 psi oil pressure at idle.

The street performance engine sounds great but is $300 more.

Anybody want to hazard a guess at an install price?
