That's just it and sort of the point of my first post. If somebody is asking the question the OP asked then it is very, very, probable they don't know what they are looking at or what to look for.
Threads like yours make rebuilds look really easy, fast, and inexpensive and they certainly can be for those that KNOW what they are doing.
If somebody is "newer" to cars and experience consists of changing some oil then jumping into a rebuild is getting way ahead of themselves. Sure people need to do things to learn but the wrong rebuild for the skill level invaribly leads to a poor or abandoned project.
A far better jumping off point would be to get a reasonably priced high mileage but fully intact car and start replacing worn parts to build it up. This really applies if budget is an issue as it appears to be in this case.
