I mean i'm looking to not spend a grip. But if it would be better to just go the shortblock route, I wouldnt' mind spending a lil more. I'm just wondering what would cost more in labor.... the rebuild or the swap
Swap is likely cheaper (even a short block) than a rebuild if you aren't doing the rebuild yourself.

Have them performa leak down test as well. This will tell you WHERE you are loosing compression.
