worth the trouble???

int the state auto trader they have a 98 gst in exellent shape,the only thing it has a blown motor...ok on other hand in the same trader in the engine section they have a 99 gst motor with everything and they have reciepts with the new rebuild..the car is going for 1500.00 obo and the motor is going for 2000.00 firm..i was wondering is it worth it to try to piece all this together or just try to find one already together..i don't think $4k and some labor is that bad,, i drive a n/t now i just want opionions on this so i know what to do before someone steals it from me

Thats a good deal but id rather get a $1500 6bolt motor in it so it would be cheaper and faster but thats just me.

yeah..i agree with viet boiiii, buy the car and then get a nice cheap 6-bolt block and swap that baby in there. should make for a nice quick daily driver.
