He wants $600.

I haven't actually seen it yet but I would like to compression test any engine I sought to buy. I believe this motor was out of a 30's Coupe (was a really sweet looking car, no pics tho...)that he was in an accident in. He's not actively trying to sell it but would to me for the $600 if I really want it.

I've been thinking if the price was right that I would drop a 350 in the truck (so I can keep driving it) and rebuild the 283 or build up a 327 out of it as she is starting to tire...

Thanks for the info!
