need a 225 short block

Dang my uncle lives in Seattle too, I just dont know how im going to get it to Cali haha. I actually found a guy about 2 hours away says hell sell me a short block for $50. Its bored over and the crank has been redone .02 under. I just hope the head in mine is still good. Does that sound fair? Its got no timing components but the motor I have should be a straight swap for the other stuff

What year is the long block you found? By the time you buy the gasket set and the gas to go get the short block you could have bought a running engine. If you want a short block I would pull your head and have it checked before you buy one.
