I'm glad you only paid $800 for it.

Re: better him then me
If I was you, I'd either buy a 6-bolt that's running, or build up one of your choice. Then do a 6-bolt swap, no more crank walking away worries. The only way I suggest building your own motor though is if you've got prior experience in something like that. Nothing like dropping a grand into a motor you build yourself, mess up on something small, and end up with a brand new motor that doesn't run.

Re: better him then me
Are you looking for a 6 bolt or a 7 bolt? Built or stock? www.maperformance.com is probably the best company I've ever dealt with, so I would recommend them. Other than that, I personally wouldnt get an ebay motor unless it was from a reputable shop or one from one of those high volume "chop shop" type places.
