I hear you on being wary of buying someone else's dog of a motor, people suck. However if comp. is good and more importantly consistent it's likely OK, and you should be able to got one these for $200 I'd think. How much of the work can you do yourself on the head and block. If you can actually do the machine work then go for it. Valves and seals are cheap. But in my experience rebuilding is a can of worms, you'll likely find other problems as you get into it. You'll probably need to hone and re-ring it. If you're paying for machine work, forget it. You can do the b18b from hmotors for ~$1k to your door.
