89 360 engine

Not sure if it's a runner. It's been sitting 2 1/2 years but it's $200.00 so I guess it's a gamble? I do have a new distributor, weiand intake and edelbrock 600 carb
I'd inspect the bearings and cylinder walls, timing chain. Why do people always want to bolt on parts before they know the condition of the engine? Unless I knew what the history was of the engine or actually heard it run, I would go through it.
