LS5 in Kansas

Is there anyone near Elkhart , KS that would be willing to do an inspection on a 71 LS5 there? I m about 650 miles out and have some concerns about the birdcage area and frame from pictures. Talked to a fella that is listing it for the owner and haven't got much from him.

Good luck.
