worth rebuilding my engine?

Also, if a TII engine blows, there is more reason to rebuild IT, rather than the crap N/A.

good reasoning, but a TII swap is not something i want... i would rather rip out my N/a powerplant, rebuild it and re-install... thus getting a chance to enjoy the car (even if its slow) while i buy/build/prep for the 20b swap.
