One is complete, it's in the truck right now if you want to hear it run. Completely stock, I'm pretty sure it's got a bad exhaust valve (can't quiet the valves, smoke under the valve cover when I pulled it hot). I didn't built this motor, I don't know it's history, I put it in the truck and drove it for a couple weeks but I'm skeptical that it'll pass emissions the way it sits. $200, no extra charge for the crappy orange paint job that's flaking off the block.
The other is in pieces - I pulled it apart because it was gobbling coolant, found a head gasket getting ready to pop. I haven't put it back together yet. This motor will come with a Thorley header, 261 cam, a late model upper intake plenum, a 5MGE throttle body and AFM combo. I had the head checked out by Crankshaft Grinders before I put it on the truck about a year ago, the bearings were good when I checked them early last summer (?). The timing set, water pump, and oil pump are all engnbldr stuff installed last summer as well. This motor will come with brand new in-box NGK plugs and wires, NAPA distributor and rotor, NAPA gold oil filter, etc. I was getting ready to clean it up with fresh gaskets and put it back in the truck when I decided to change direction. There may be some extras missing to make this a complete motor, it'll need vacuum hose, maybe a PS pump, I'm still digging through my spares stash. $300.
I'll sell both motors and every little bit of 22RE stuff in my spares pile for $400. I'm not interested in parting either out right now, just want them out of my garage.
