Default Decent swap?

Hi guys,

Ive just been offered a swap... Theres an EA down in Campbelltown im thinking about, motor has done 164760k's, its CFI, he says the body is fine, only been off the road for a week and a half as he lost his license. Hes pulled the dash and gearbox out as he was selling it for parts, but he says if i swap mine i can put my dash and box in it. He says the motor in it is quicker than his other cars is (EA Spac). He only wants $350 for the car, or $175 for the motor.
Only thing is, Im unemployed atm and Im selling my bike for dosh, I was gonna put a 2½ cat back in mine with the money. My car is in my sig... Motor has done just over 200,000. Ive just put new shocks, brakes and tie rod ends in. The body is strong, straight, nothing wrong with it. Seeing mine has done 200,000 I was gonna reco the head but that will cost me $1000. How hard would it be to convert from CFI to MPFI with the parts from mine and would it be worth it? I asked him for pics so when I get them ill post em here... Ill post pics of mine when bloody Photobucket.com decides to go back up. So for now its gonna have to go on info.

So I have 3 options;
1. Keep my car and tell him to shove it.
2. Swap my car for his and use the bike money to put the zorst in that one.
3. Use the money from the bike to buy the car, change the motor over (and whatever other parts are in better condition than mine) and get stuck with the stock exhaust.

Opinions?
