To rebuild or buy crate

I appreciate all the responses.

I'm really surprised that so many pick going crate engine, I thought the car guy choice would have been to rebuild just to get you own hands on it.
I can see how these days so many variables make the deciding factor.
COST, time, ease and scheduling to just go with a crate.

My buddy and I are going to pick apart the quote a decide the best route for him.

Thanks everyone.
John.
