what do you think is it worth picking something like that up? again i dont know much about the motor itself but i know i dont want **** power!!! the 305 is little...
The engine in the ad looks like an older version because of the lack of a serpentine belt. I'd be leery of buying an engine that "ran hot" and was pulled for rebuilding especially when decent SBCs are a dime a dozen. Just because it turns over with a wrench doesn't mean it's not fubar inside. If it was no big deal to fix he'd have fixed it by now. Just my $.02.
