rebuilding motor

if i rebuild an n/a motor with only replacing the seals how long is that engine good for. just lookin for a ballpark. and is there anything else i should buy while i do the rebuild. and if i just slap on a turbo wouldnt it be easier than buying the turbo engine and doin all that nonsense.

Depends on how well you build it and how you drive it.

It is infintely easier to swap in a TII motor than trying to boost the NA.

How could we know? What do the housings look like? How do you drive your car? What kind of job will you do?

and is there anything else i should buy while i do the rebuild. and if i just slap on a turbo wouldnt it be easier than buying the turbo engine and doin all that nonsense.
No, it not. And it takes more knowledge. If you're asking, dont and buy a TII.
