Got Stuck late at work today Dean.
Now it's starting to sound more normal priced.
I doubt they would purposely lead you on...
So you have some options. You could Strip down your Engine and send it to a machine shop, and maybe even have them assemble everything including Timing...
I know a good shop out here that I'm going to include in my Engine Write-up when I'm finished (about 2 months)
Or maybe you could do the whole thing and hire a local guy to come check your work along the way.

You still want me to dig around SFR tomorrow?

If you're going to rebuild (which you should) I wouldn't pay premium for low mileage Engine. With this many years, parts are due to be replaced anyway. I would think you could get the machining done for $1200 and about 1500-2500 in parts, turning the wrench yourself.

FYI: You're about in the same place I was before I decided for a bigger Engine Swap.
Turbo Swaps, 968s', S2's or Stock. Now.. your beer will earn it's keep.
