5.9 worth looking at ?????????? from local craigslist

That's a heck of a deal there, as I paid 500 for a 96 and it's a fantastic motor even at it's approximate 90k.
There were still very obvious cross hatching in the bores and the lower bearings all looked like it had 100 miles on it.
Here it is as an LA style with EQ heads drilled for LA intakes, LA valve covers, timing cover and water pump.
Carbureted of course.
You can get 400hp out of these things with bolt ons and no machine work.
