Pretend I’m an idiot.

So, just found out why everything was so cheap. Just saw the engine for the first time. No FastBurn heads. Engine is a California 1984 model. Per AllPar, it should have a four barrel and already be in the 170hp (factory) range, but whoever pulled the engine must have snagged the original intake and carb as it no has a two barrel setup

Still not a bad deal if it runs well with no smoke, not much better than any other old 318 though.
