I just bought a S13 and after taking down the engine, the old KA is almost in heaven rather than earth (pretty damaged engine)

The exact model of my car is a 1990 Nissan 240sx

So i was thinking a swap would be the best thing to do... but now here is a dilemma! i found a place where they are selling engines and cant seem to wrap my head around which one i should get.... ANY HELP WOULD BE REAAAAAALLY APPRECIATED!

Here are the two options!

OPTION A

S13 SR20DET BLACK TOP Silvia Engine, Manual RWD Transmission, Harness, & ECU $ 1,849.00

Company: Nissan

Horse Power: 205 HP @ 6000RPM
Torque: 203 LBS-FT @ 4000 RPM
Compression: 8.5:1
Red Line: 6000 RPM

OPTION B:

S13 SR20DET RED TOP Silvia 240SX Engine, Manual RWD Transmission, Harness, & ECU $ 1,799.00

Company: Nissan
Code: S13 SR20DET RED TOP Silvia 240SX Engine, Manual RWD Transmission, Harness, & ECU

Weight: 700 lbs

aside from the year, the only thing that is different is the RED LINE, anyone can help me with some facts to help me decide what to get? is not much price-wise but i just want to get the right engine for my car. (also if those engines are not a good swap, what else you recommend "please Nissan engine only")

THANKS!!!!
