You might get a cheaper car outright, but at $25k the one you listed is NOT cheaper than a quality SC with an original motor. Not perfect, but much better condition than that one.

That's my thinking on the subject. When I went and looked more closely at the ad it sounds to me like this guy built his own longblock off of stuff he had around. Maybe he's a good home mechanic. Maybe he's a hack.
I would take a car Renegade built in house with a GM crate engine over someone's home install and build any day of the week. I think that swapped SC is a $15k car, on a good day.
