That's not a bad price. Expect bent valves and dimpled pistons, but if you're rebuilding it, that won't matter.

It doesn't really matter what kind of condition it's in if your going to rebuild it with forged internals and other accessories. If it's intact, for 250, I say get it.

i look at it this way.....if you oreder a motor from vt, or howell they will charge you 400 for a core. so for 250 you get a whol motor-core block and possibly decent head....you cant go wrong with your intensions.
