Critique this 440!

I would not pay $2600 for an engine you don't know anything about.
( It's my opinion but i thinks its a bad deal.)

x2 - I ate a 340 that ended up having a bad block and bad heads - paid too much for the proverbial 'pig in a poke' based on the story of it having been built by so and so, etc.

Without paperwork on what all was done, you really need to get inside it or you're spinning a roulette wheel with a $2600 bet.
