To me it's not even a cost based issue. That motor for free is not worth my trouble to install, as 130 HP is not enough for my tastes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

That is assuming the motor is being installed as is, and not re-built 1st, if it's being re-built ($$$) it gets even worse, because between the purchase and rebuild, you could probably find a later model motor with more power (more displacement too) for the same $$$

If 130 HP is enough, a healthy type IV would be better IMHO, the only thing that would guide ME to that motor is if I HAD to have a -6 and stay on the cheap.
