AZ 12A question

so i have a chance to get a 12a engine from a 84 GSL for $100 or less. the lady let her friend store it at her house, well he moved and said she can have it. she doesnt know if it was rebuilt or prettymuch anything about the engine, but it is all there. she says it was made for racing (so im guessing it was rebuilt). i will most likely dissasemble it, before tearing into my 13b from my car, (my first rotory rebuild). or just end up selling different parts of it on craigslist or here or somthing. but with the very very very limited info on it would $100 in your opinions be good?

And what would you do with the 12A? Put it in your FC? That wouldn't be worth the time or money.

It's not worth much more than 100 if you don't have compression and you could get a blown 13b for a little more than that.

Why not just pull yours out and start the process?
