What to look for when buying an engine.

If I wanted long tube headers then $700 isn't a bad deal. As the car will be more of a daily driver than a race car I don't see the need for long tube headers. I have a set of ceramic coated hedman headers on my truck and they looked terrible after a few months so stainless would be a plus, though TTI hopefully have a better coating than hedman.
Might still go for TTI as I know they fit well, just wanted to look at options. Have looked at getting the jeep manifolds that could fit, but it seems like they are more of a "might fit"

Yea it depends on the location of the motor. they may work they may not.. I had cooks longtube on my SRT8 Challenger and was very happy with it and it was not even close to being a race car. Yea supercharged with methanol injection but it was such a huge heavy boat it was not a race car to me... I can see the preference of a shorty...To me those are just for getting exhaust out.. not a performance improvement.
