Pro, welcome back!

As far as which engine you're getting, ask the mechanic! Hopefully he is not so clueless that he has no idea what is going in... and an engine with rust all over it etc. does not seem like a reasonable rebuild. Obviously all 3800'* are not created equal, and your mechanic of all people shoul know this. Speak up for your rights as a paying customer NOW, and don't wait until the shop is done (and it'* too late)!
