I'd suggest you fix the 9... You could buy the other one and have the same problem tomorrow. I figure it this way... if you're talking trade at the same place that told you that you need 6K in engine work, they just deducted that from the sale price of the 966, then some for margin... so they aren't giving you much allowance. I don't blame them either.
As far as the 6K for the rebuild... that may be high. It doesn't strike me as terribly high when I think in terms of some Ford engines. Also consider that if you want a firm price they're likely to quote you a worst case scneraio. Quite possibly it could be done cheaper if you want to pay labor (hourly) and parts as it happens...
I know when people ask me for prices on work, I quote an hourly rate for whatever time it takes... and if you don't want to trust me and insist on a flat rate, I'll give you a flat rate. It's what I expect in hours for the worst case, PLUS some in case I figuered low... and I don't really care at that point whether I get the work or not. I'm not one to gamble at my own expense when working for someone else...

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
