Good Deal, Decent Deal or Bad Deal?

I just got back from looking at that engine. The block is a standard block that may need to be bored or maybe just honed, it's border line. The heads are X heads with 2.02 valves and adjustable rockers. The heads need to be cleaned up and probably some valve seals. They were also ported some. The crank and cam appear to be a right off. The rods and pistons are in good shape. There is a stock 4bbl intake. There are a bunch of other small parts, some used, some new.

Now sit down, I offered him $500 and we settled on $550.

I think I will be able to get some of the money back by selling the rods, pistons and intake.
