build myself or buy complete? 22r
ok guys. i have decided to overhaul the engine and all that fun stuff. i might have a good deal on a 22r short block, brand new rebuilt. never used for 400. then i was thinkin i could buy a head($300?) and rebuild the carb? and then id be all set right?
or i can wait and save up and buy a full motor with it all? but i cant seem to find any online .
what do u guys think, build myself or buy it complete?

Also, engbldr is an eBay seller and he seems to have a stellar reputation.

You are correct. An EFI has a throttle body and a carb has......well a carb. You cannot miss it if you open the hood.
Big round air cleaner cover sort of in the middle of the engine compartment =carb. Smaller, black, rectangular air cleaner near the fender = EFI.

Good luck on rebuilding the carb , That is something i just don't have the patients to do . They always run worse after i overhaul them lol....Make sure you have a acid bat to soak it in overnight....
