My input (since you asked): If you are CERTAIN that you have all the bugs worked out of using the Buick with the Chevy Tranny for $60, then tell the engine seller that you want to put it in the truck and drive it before you pay him for it. That way if it runs, great, if it doesn't you aren't out any money, just a half a day dropping th engine in and another half a day pulling it back out. If it never runs, you can probably even return the Dist cap, etc.
