LT1 90k miles - What should I look for?
I found a great deal on a 94 lt1 with harness, pcm and trans. All have 90k and are out of a 94 T/A. Just wondering what i should check to make sure all is good. It is out of the car so I cannot hear it run.

Hopefully there is still oil in the pan. Pop the plug and inspect the oil for bearing material or water in the oil indicating a bad head gasket. Pull the plugs and insert a compression checker and spin the motor over with a battery and jumper cables. write down the compression of the 8 cylinders dry and then squirt oil and check all 8 again checking for a large rise in psi.
