You ARE joking? A complete, original RUNNING engine and the trans that came with it for only 200? Hell the core value between the two is worth that.

But I made a couple of assumptions

Since you say it's a long shaft, this is probably a "van style" motorhome, IE has no emergency brake on the trans and is therefore not the "heavy truck" version with the big Ferd spark plugs

Jus' make sure your buddy has it all wired and rigged up to fire before you get there, because you are not gonna want to drive 200mi, and spend all day riggin' the thing to fire up.

How are you planning to put it on a stand when it's an auto? Does he have a stick flywheel he can put on the thing, and a bell? Otherwise, you'll have to leave the auto on the thing.

I fired an engine like this, paid 150 for it:

Didn't even have manifolds on it, LOL rigged a gas can above to siphon into the carb



My "emergency HEI" Plug into the distributer, the cap, and ground and 12V!!!
