IMO, one of these new motors will go better than an original and last longer, yet from the outside look exactly like the original. Win - win! Sure, they might cost a little more than a rebuild but with less maintenance and longer life, they will be more economical in the long run.
My concern there is the availability of the bearing shells into the future but from here, I have no understanding of the situation over there. BTW, NONE of the GM cars that used those shell were sold here so my perception might be wrong.
