I don't think you'd be happy with that deal. I see 149s on cl all of the time for around $400. You'd be giving the 1450 away. I bet if you tried you could sell the 1450 for a couple hundred which means you'd be paying $600 for the 149. You might be better off trying to find a good used engine and swap them out.
A millionaire once told me "when in doubt, do nothing". It did nothing for my fortune but I think it's good advice a lot of the time.
Good luck with what you decide....Wayne
