how many miles on it? It seems to be a good deal, i would check in out in greater depth though. Offer him 1100, he ll take. Times are tough these days, people will sell stuff you nothing. Use this to your advantage.

Not a bad deal if everything he says is true (done up heads/cam/supporting stuff). Make sure you get some info first, make him show you the sheets he got with the cam/heads ect...

Good deal as long as it is legit. Get more info on the heads.

"'510/520 lift cam"

Sounds like stock cam with 1.6 rockers.

Depends on the miles and condition.

All that stuff is fine and dandy, but not if its got 180k and low oil pressure!

Dont do it, this guy is trying to rip somebody off!!! I was talking to him for a few weeks during august and he kept saying differant stuff he had done about it and changing his story. Very fishy. dont get fucked over!!!

As stated I wouldn't touch it unless there was all kinds of documentation as well as whether or not there was a shop involved in the assy. process. If there is then you need to talk to them as well.
If the answer is "no" to any of the above then walk away. $1350 for a complete "rebuilt" engine w/ heads/cam sounds just a tad low.

aslong sa there not a home machined head and prestone doesnt leak into the exhaust or intake then yeah

Selling my 383 was one of the longest processes and it was had becuase most who where interest was local. I had all the documentation and info about the engine. I also have a proven rep and sellers rating here.

I personally wouldnt buy a motor unless I personally know the history.

KadinZ

its a bad deal -

'picks up phone to call guy selling engine'

i think you should find an LS1 -

'yeah, today at 11? i'm totally there with 1350 in hand!'

lol. jk but......i think you should go look for an ls1, they are ez to drop in too, lighter, and all aluminum!

That cam just sounds like the CC 230/236 with the 1.5 rocker calculation.. at 1.6 i think its .544/.555 or at least mine is (112 lsa version)
