Should I sell or build my old block?

Last year my ralliart took a **** on me, it decided to stop pumping oil. I ended up buying a complete short block from my uncle who works a Mitsubishi. Should I sell my old block? It defiantly need an overbore and if so how much could I get? Or should I save it and build a 2.2l out of it? Thanks for helping me decide

That will defiantly come before a built motor, my dad works on trans for a living, so i'll be doing that all by myself So far i'm good on slipping. I was looking at cosworth stroker kit. Any recommendations on kits? or would be piecing one together better

Cosworth, someones ballin!
Ummmm, Manley knife edge gets my vote for stroker (it's what I would want). BUT......if you have the cheeze for Cosworth, then you have the cheeze for a proper 2.2 bore

I tend to dislike Cosworth/AMS stroker kits because of the sheer cost when so many companies can make you pistons and rods, and local shops can knife edge your crank, bore and sleeve for you. Take your time and save money. Its basically a spare longblock in your case so there's no rush, right?
