Yeah the cab is in great condition, I am stoked that I scored on that part.

To answer your question about the engine, I think the better question is "what is right with the engine?" BBC components seem to be much sought after, however the 402 is not a great platform. Some really look for this engine and they work out fine, this one is going to need some work. Tranny is the same. I think there was a radiator core issue because there is coolant in the tranny, water in the oil and they had tried to put in some stop leak and gummed it all up. I guess it doesn't really matter in a complete rebuild because they solvent wash the whole thing anyway.
