Your Thoughts? Opinions?

I have a deal in the works for a clean 200x w/ a blown motor, he says a rod let go and the bottom end is "shattered".

If the block is ok, what would it run me for a crank, rod, piston setup?

Also, can i use the motor out of a 200es and take off the diff and shaft drive stuff?

I am mostly interested in getting it rolling with the ES motor if possible, can I gut the ES and use the parts in the X motor?

I don't think the ES motor will work if it's shaft drive.....You're probably better off just buying a 185/200 motor or a 200x motor.

If you end up getting it and want to keep it a 200x engine I have two first gen 200x bottom ends in my garage right now that I am not going to do anything with.
