Well ya never know till you look. And this one didn't look anywhere as good as it sounded on the phone. Imagine that!
It's a C8AE-A block casting, got the cross bolts, but not a side oiler. Had some evidence of overheating (looked like coolant poured over the motor and dried, leaving a "lime deposit" look). The guy wasn't there, and his wife did all the talking, and didn't know much.....except that they had rebuilt the motor, blahhh blahhh. Saw a bit too much evidence of operating on the cheeep, such as liberal use of silicone glue here and there, rather than doing it "right". Kind of got a wave of cold feet at the moment......... I'm obviously going to need to talk to the guy again, but my tendency is to let this one pass........perhaps the motor spent too much time in Florida? Perhaps I should be looking in Michigan??
