If you are not considering a rebuild in the near future, I think you should be looking for an engine that is in running condition. That way you know it will run.
I have been searching for an engine for about 3 months now and I finally found one that I am comfortable in buying. In my searches, all the engines I found had been sitting and the sellers were not sure if they ran or not.
The engine I found (914 2.0 GA 002446) had come from a 914 that had just been in a front end collision. No oil leaks and a strong runner.
I am not going to rebuild this now...I want a runner that I can just install.
