If you don't like a preordered item, talk with the dealer. Perhaps ask if he has another buyer and won't mind if you pass on it. Most dealers are relatively small businesses, and unexpectedly having to sit on a $1500 engine can be a big deal.
If you're not sure about an item, wait until you see it, and then buy it.
That is what I would recommend as well. Do you HAVE to take it if you preordered without a deposit? Probably not, but it sure is bad form to reject it and it likely is something the dealer will not permit you to do a second time unless he or she already considers you a "regular" customer.
