This is a great advertisement for using the "Search" button (especially the Archives search available under "Advanced Search").

Read that old thread and you'll run like heck away from those guys.

Run away ... fast

I bought that engine and it was a mess from start to finish.. worthless warranty, leaks, bad parts wrong parts, missing oil filter spin on converter and oil galley plugs. Rust in the head coolant passages. Took forever to get credit for parts sent and not requested....
