Rebuild or new motor?

[integra-kr]

I have a '94 Integra LS with 140K miles on it. I want a motor with LOW miles (30-40K), so I'll probably end up buyin one from an importer (LS motor, because I wanna turbo it). Someone told me to rebuild it though, and that got me thinking. If I rebuild it, I can do a custom motor, with a bored and sleeved block, new tranny, etc. It costs more, but then again I'd be doing that kind of stuff in the long run anyway. So, I was wondering what you all think. Rebuild, or just a new LS?

if the block is bot craked i would just rebuild the old engine. you might have the car down for a few weeks, but well worth it tho, if you ask me

I got a new LS motor for mine. Mine had 140K like urs and found one from www.hmotorsonline.com for 2500$ with only 22K on it since i did a supercharger and all.

$2200? That's PLUS shipping, right? Im lookin at one at totaljdm.com for $849+ $196.57 for shipping to a place near me. For your shipping, how well did that go? Where did you have to pick that up?
