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

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.

Jerry,
I noticed the same things as you've mention.
One thing is the oil filter, looks to me to still be the original.
And no clear indications the throttle cable clamps have ever been installed on the plenum.
But then again you look closely at the paint on throttle body and it clearly appears to be lifting at the cover plate edge.
Regardless of the good price I think in this case prudence dictates a thorough firsthand inspection to clear up any uncertainties prior to any purchase decisions.
