^^^^LOL. Your potential low compression engine will still start. Ask him about his more appropriate "**** compression guarantee".
780 is a good deal (assuming rebuild is needed), if you purchase an atkins rebuild kit and rebuild and port it yourself. Thats 2 grand for a ported engine.....thats good deal territory if your housings and rotors arent trashed.
Always check compression first.
No one selling you a used engine is trustworthy except people you personaly know, atkins, japan2la, and corksport(no mo jspecs tho).

Aw don't be so rough on him guys.. I would assume with the modifications that the motor has been thrashed on a little.... I would check for even pulses by removing the sparkplugs and rotating the engine by hand, if you get 3 on each (even and strong) then you are probably ok to drop it in if you are on a budget. You may want to consider cracking it open and replacing the seals though.. Eh wth plop it is see what it does.

even if the motor needs a rebuild he got a great deal when you factor in everything he got with it, and that he got it all at once and did not have to search all over the internet trying to get parts.
that is saying by "full swap" you mean the trans and rear end too right?
You guys are telling me he did not get a good deal for all that???

even if that motor needs a rebuild you made out great.
Remember also when you get a rebuild you now have a full swap and a fresh rebuilt motor so your good to go with a fresh motor versus someone else who has unknown mileage on thier set up.
Chances are your motor will be good if the guy is giving you a start up gurantee.
