Ditto! If the block is good and not coroded to heLL and back its a very good deal. You might want to tell him after you have the block pressure checked and magged and the crank magged that you will then pay him the rest. I have seen alot of people buy broken crankes before.

Find the casting number on the rear of the block and go to http://www.mortec.com/bbc.htm and look it up. Make sure you are getting what you expect.
