Aah dude that sucks

Thing is if you get an engine with known history, although you'll want to change the cambelt/hg for ease, you'll keep the car going just putting it straight in. Otherwise you're gonna be skinting yourself, and also running the risk of your existing engine throwing a rod whilst your new engine is in bits with the hg/cambelt being done.

Imo you'd be way better off waiting before doing the hg/cambelt anyway, especially if you're having to skimp on quality/new parts to do the job...
