I've enquired about a couple on there so far. I talked to one guy who has a rebuilt 454 that he put in a Cadillac. It all sounded well until he said "oh, by the way the STARTER doesn't work". Starter or is the motor siezed??

I know you don't want to hear this but I have to gloat a little about my recent purchase. I just picked up a 1970 396/402 350hp engine. It is all apart but the parts look good. I haven't checked the bore yet but the pistons are .030 over Manley pistons. I not sure if they are 30 over 402 pistons or 30 over 396 pistons. I got the block with the correct heads, cast crank, pistons and rods, oilpan and a few other small parts. I won it on Ebay. The guys listing wasn't very good and normally i wouldn't have bid but it was only about 50 miles from me. I bid figuring I had no chance of winning because my bid was so low. I got it for $276.
