That's not bad if he kept the mains numbered so they go back in the right place. You also have to keep the couple hundred in shipping if he knows how to ship it correctly. I've seen some pretty amateur palleting that causes more harm then good. There is a vendor on eBay that sells used blocks (cores) with all the machining except decking (bored and honed) for around $500 with $120 shipping if I pick it up at the depot. Doesn't have the covers or oil pan though. Depending on the front end crossmember you are using dictates the type of oil pan you use. If you go low it sounds like the F-Body is the way to go.
