build or buy?????

[yotadork83]

All right guy i need all the input i can get.  I am getting a big raise and i am going to take out a loan to finish up my build.  I need a motor, i know for a fact that i am going with propane and an a 22r block. the question is should i buy the lc engineering rock crawler long block, a built motor off of ebay, or build one at the local shop??

Building it yourself (with a mechanic anyway) will be more expensive but youll know nothing was done half-assed or wrong and you can select all the best componenets to build the best motor for your application. I would trust LCE to do a good job putting a motor together, its what they do. Ebay is a little less trustworthy, epsecially if its a used motor.
So thats the order I would do it in if I had the money available.
