Piece it together, you'll save alot of money and there are a bunch of threads on here to help out. And no you would not have to rebuild your motor just make sure the tune is good and don't beat the crap out of it.

Depending on the engine's year I wouldn't worry about it.

If you think you know what your talking about why even ask for anyone's opinion?

Yeah I'd listen to noorj and Verbatim on what they're telling you. They know these LE5s damn good. If you don't have to open up your engine, don't do it. Just let it be happy where it's at. If you feel you're going to blow up your car because you "race" a lot, then make it safe. Big pulley, a conservative tune and be done.
