HOW ABOUT A 1979 318 V-8 IN MY '73 SCAMP?

Should I go look at them, I really wouldn't know what to look for even if I was there. His asking price is $1000 per motor. Please help me out here, I would really like to have a 340 in my Scamp! Thanks P. S. IF someone would like the leftover motor? It's located in SW Oklahoma.
Why spend that kind of money for a "rebuildable core", when you could probably find a pretty good running 360 for the same price.
