89 360 engine

He was just responding to my post about what he'll need to make it work in his car, and convert it from TBI. Of course it needs to be inspected before running it.
I understand. It's that it would be a bummer if he did all that and the engine would be shot. I've noticed that some people can't wait to bolt on a 4 barrel and headers without having any knowledge of the condition of the engine. I've only put a used engine in a vehicle one time and that was because I knew the guy that rebuilt it, other wise I always tear down and go through them first.
