what is advantage of a "bobtail" verses a complete motor? 4700 on sale complete is good. would i need to replace mount locations though? i have rebuilt the engine mount stringers a few years ago.

I do not think a new long block that is bare is a good option, all the working parts that attach from my old motor are pretty much 1978 orig or ebayed and the labor costs to remove and rebuild it would be more than a new motor. I do not have knowledge time or space to do it so I'm paying a shop the labor $100 hr. i can't see putting a 30 year old parts, starter, on a new motor as a good option.
