Is this 12a worth using?

Hey there, I got a dirt cheap 81, and the engine was in the trunk with the oil pan and front cover taken off. I took some pictures of most of the car and parts. If someone could help me out, that would be great, thanks.

yep, cant really condemn an engine for just having a little rust that can be cleaned up. won't know unless you rip it apart.

If I tear it down, and it's still good, can I use a gasket kit such as the one from atkins?

Its for a 12a, so yes you can. All the other info you need to teardown and inspect it is at www.foxed.ca

Also, teardown and inspect first, then order parts
