This not mine nor am I associated in any way. Spotted this on Craigslist today here in SoCal. Looks like a good deal.
Good luck

I sent the seller a note asking for some pics and the ID number.

Looks like a great deal!

Most likely a 2 bolt main, but including all components?

I did too. Wish I was closer, especially since my last debacle.

I'm not far from there. I can take a look if someone is serious.

I don't think it's a new engine. I'm guessing it's the one someone pulled out to put in a new crate engine.

Hi Jerry... why do think its a used engine?

Thanks Rick

Given its scruffy appearance fore sure this engine has not been stored in the best of conditions. Doubt preservation maintenance has seen much attention either.
I've looked over closely the high res photos the seller emailed and my eyes could not find any clear indications this is take out. I will forward these to any one interested in taking their own look. Just PM your email address.

From what I saw in the photos the seller sent me, which are shown in Phil's #6 post above. Look around the plenum bolt and the injector rail. New crate engines also come with ex manifolds, flywheel, clutch, bellhousing & wrapped in plastic. This engine has none of that and doesn't look like the wrap was dropped down for the photos.
