1200 bucks is way overpriced for a la1, i can get one with less than 50,000 with a 1 year warranty for $400 and swap it in with my wife in an afternoon........

but the thing with johns 3.7 is.........i dont have the power adder for it that it deserves, no do i have the transmission to sustain it....and the tranny i want is a 3000$ F40 tranny........

looking at some money just to get all that headache working and running.

thats why i considered a second hand motor and just piece together until its ready to be put in....

Your first problem is that you are still living with your parents.......
Secondly, yes you don't have the power adder it deserves, but if you buy his block, i could probably help you out with that, you know maybe get you a second set of the custom whipple mounts
As far as the tranny, i can't help you out there because I got his tranny going in my car, oh and I got his cam too so you would need to buy a new one for the block too.......
