i dunno, not sure. but all knowing arin can fix it (if its not working that is)

the major upside though is that its a 302, which rocks, cuz theres actually :gasp: parts available for that motor, unlike my 2.8L (which will be upgraded to a 302/351 as soon as i can amek it to a junkyard before closing time :angry: )

and if it no run, and if i cant find what i need at el junkyardo, maybe i can knock the asking price down a bit and take it as a donor car... put in a 347 short block, plop it into my II and viola! and motor mounts for a V8 in a II are a pain to find, so this is a nice find...

My advice Arin is to stick with what you got and build it from there. You have a good solid car that runs and passes inspection. There's no telling what condition this one is in but for $1300 less than yours its probably not as cherry as it sounds.

Save that money buddy and get a built up 302 in yours. Stick with your first project and finish it up Good luck
