Your thoughts on this engine (photos included)

Cool acquisition-unless the engine has 150k+ miles on it, I wouldn't be overly concerned about the timing set...thankfully, they're not terribly difficult to change. Grab some gaskets, maybe look into getting some new fasteners to replace the ones that may be badly rusted, a couple gallons of coolant, and whatever else you tear up on the way in :)

Thanks for easing my worried mind, haha! Luckily the engine has 63k on it but, it'll definitely be something I'll keep an eye on.
