Put in the OFE or wait for FE

OK here is the deal i bought a southbend con-ofe pretty cheap and i didnt really want it but for that price i figured i could get it incase my clutch went out on me. I just dont really know if i want to go ahead and put it in there or not. After i get a new injection pump it wont be to long until i go to a twin setup so im just a little hesitant on the ofe not knowing where i will be?
So what would you guys do put in the OFE or hold off until i get a FE?
Thanks for the help.

Kevin

See i tried to sell it for a while but everybody acted like it was WAY to expensive. I was trying to sell it for 600 and it is brand new still in the original box and everything heck i told a guy 550 after he said no way on the 600 and still nothing so is my price way to expensive?

Ya know to tell ya the truth i havent even looked at it I bought it from a friend really cheap because he has had it for a while he totaled his truck so i couldnt tell ya. If it doesnt have the flywheel is it to high if a price? And if it does is it still to high of a price.

Just as a reference to the price, I bought a used con fe (1 1/4") a few years ago and gave 500 for it.

13 1/4 OFE's with Flywheels run about $900 so thats not a bad deal.

I'd put the OFE in, there are alot of guys on here over 500hp running an OFE, and most claim it holds just fine.
