I read this as a trade plus cash. What's the cash? If it's more than a grand rebuild.
And, this trade motor, how many impellers has it lost and over heated, what kind of oil has it had, ever run lean, blah, blah......
Rebuild what you have. 500 hp is so easy and cheap to obtain these days it's sick.

I think you made the right choice, which if you ask Mrs. Daytona means you probably made the wrong choice.
