Some issues
How do you know the engine you buy won't have the same issues? There have been some horror stories.
How do you know that after either spending the $3k for repairs or the $5k for the used motor it won't self destruct 3 days later? Stuff does happen.
What makes you think you and your dad can do a rebuild of the engine for $2k? Either of you ever been inside a M96? (Only person I ever heard of who did it himself without prior experience spent about $4.5k on parts IIRC.)
Used parts? OEM parts? "Improved" parts?
And how much do you replace/upgrade while the engine is out? Clutch? IMS bearing? AOS? Alternator? Water Pump? Idler pulleys? Motor Mounts? and it goes on...
It is a set of difficult decisions. I don't envy you having to make em....and then live with the results.
