Default TMS motor, what do you guys think?

Just poking around, looking at motors for my FRC, and found this on ebay. I'm not buying anything now, but always keeping an eye out. What do you guys think? I'm completely ignorant when it comes to car engines, I really have no idea what I'm looking at here.

Looking at the specs, it's nothing special. Junkyard LS1 rebuilt with mostly factory parts and a cam of unstated specifications. I would question the HP rating and want to see a dyno sheet on the specific engine I was purchasing.
