Help on 318 purchase - Newbie mechanic questions.

Is this an ok buy for $200 just as a learning project?


I would say so. What intake is that? That could be worth half of the asking price alone.

TQ core, that's worth 30-50 bucks, depending on which one it is. Viscous fan, that's worth at least 50 bucks used. Chrome valve covers are certainly worth a little bit.

So yes, I can see 200 bucks there.
