his eleven year old car punched a hole in the block ... and he wants to replace it with a 17 year old unknown ?

any way it would be the short engine he would use with the heads etc of the orig car.

Not an unknown but a car that he has known for few years and surely age has nothing to do with it?? Ive always been told condition!! thanks for your help just kicking ideas around he's not decided on anything yet
