no offense, but if you don't know what to look for, then you probably shouldn't own the car

take thhe car to a local shop and have them look at it for you, they might charge you a fee but they would be able to tell you the condition it is in.... nothing wrong with buying a built car as long as you have the cash in your pocket to paysomeone else to maintain that shit for you

i have an IDEA, of what to look for, but when it comes to fully built internals, and a fully built head, i mean, how would one go about being able to tell??
i was told it was cammed, but it def. sounds and idles like stock, which may not mean anything....other than what you would check when buying any used car, thats about where it ends.


anyway, apparently the receipts got tossed, so im going to pass on this one.
