Things to look for when buying a used marine SBC
 

Hey guys anything in particular I should check when buying a used water cooled small block Chevy ? externally it's in poor condition but it supposedly runs. I'm just interested in the restoration project aspect of it. I'm not from the US so it's hard to get these things locally in the Caribbean unless you pay big money ! It's being sold for about $450 US and as i said it supposedly runs will check that before purchase. If there is anything else to check let me know ! Thanks.

Yeh I was told they will start it for me before I buy it so my fingers are crossed but a compression check is a good idea ! Thanks
