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.

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.
