Should i buy it???

Im sick of my engine going clank clank clank. Found out a full rebuild is 2500. So i wana do the 3.4 swap. and i want to get this engine
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2439338596

Will it work with my 91 RS? Will the 3.1 intake match the heads? and will the bell housing on my 700-r4 match the back of that engine?

What do ya think??? I cant affored it but i dont wana sell my camaro. So i will just charge it

Good deal. sound like a better idea than fixing old stuff. I would buy a crate first myself. Only thing to ask about is the break in. Lots of engines get runined like that. bikes and cars, they lay down big buck for a 0 mile engine and try to do 180 the first day.

I think i might hold off i gotta wait til i get more $$$ my firebird has sucked all my money from me. I will just wait til my car dies then deal with it. I have 5 different towing policys so i can get 150 miles of free towing.
