: Avenir Rebuild or New Longblock?

Ok, since my Avenir motor blew up after driving it for 800 miles, I am forced to either re-build it or buy a longblock and do another swap. Which would be the best approach? For a complete re-build, what would I need, assuming I had bearing failure and threw a rod? What would i need besides:

Overhaul gasket set
Rod Bearings
Main Bearings
Re-grind crank (or use old one out of US SR20)
Head gasket

I can get a BB DET longblock (minus VC and intake manifold) for $850 shipped. I can just swap those parts off of my avenir to my BB DET.

What does everyone think I should do?

TIA,
Josh

Get a long block. Get intouch with JGY and see if he has any.
