you know what.. don't sweat it yet.. Check it out, be sure it is what you expected and go from there.. if you buy it and bring it home, then the fun begins.. Take your time, and go through everything..

if I recall it broke one chain right? so you might have to replace one head, maybe not. Everything is speculation.

but look at it this way.. assume rest of car is fine... you spent 7K on the car.. buy a motor for 6K and you are still under the value of it in good shape

I think Ron ( Cuisinartvette) might still have a motor for one and he is in Cali
