350 Quesitons, help me decide

I have a 1972 pickup with the 350 and a blown rod. I have looked and found 2 options. 1 a 1978 350 unknown mileage in the truck can hear it run. It would be complete, wires, plugs, carb etc and is a 4 bolt. For $350. Will the 1978 motor bolt right into my truck and uip to my auto tranny?

The second is a 1970 350, in the truck can run and drive the truck. Has been rebuilt and has about 56,000 on rebuild.

Which sohuld I get? I am looking for temporary motor while I build a power house. I want to drive my grandpas truck sooner than later and am looking for cheap and fast ways to get it up and going through the summer.

500 for the one that was rebuilt. But if they both will bolt in then I gues it will come down to which sounds and performs better.
