Two things:
1. You can exchange some of the parts to get your newer motor to work in your car. Between the two you should be set. 2. You don't need to break in a used motor

Be careful that this is not all leading up to a huge bill or something. I know you said you know the mechanic but alot of times that doesn't matter. Those guys are very often evil - the number on reason why I do all my own work.

alright well what i am getting is just a rebuilt block. we stripped doen my old motor to the block so we are going to swap everything over to the new motor. Its coming in from wayne, pa which is like 40min from the shop, so everything should be in by this friday. the motor has 36k on it, so im guessing is was rebuilt after it had been used for a little bit, i have this drag competition on that sunday, so i am wondering is the motor will be broken in by then. Pics Coming Soon!!

I would give the motor more time than that - seriously. It's not so much as it needs to break in seeing as it's a used motor. It's just that you are getting a motor that was most likely involved in an accident plus you just really have no way of knowing if the motor really only has 36K on it. I would wait probably at least a month and constantly be listening to it and feeling it and checking for signs of problems before racing it.
