High mileage 302? Definitely give it a compression test,if it is okay watch the oil comsumption,and have fun,most of the Factory Stock cars in NMRA are running either GT40p heads,or ported E7 heads and they are running low 12's high 11's with 100k mile blocks,so with anything it is 6 in one hand,half a dozen in the other your motor might let go on the first pass it might let go on the 100th pass,Be Afraid,Be Very Afraid LOL
1800 dollars for a long block? What type of pistons does this thing have? If it is the glass-jawed hyper-pathetic pistons I would steer clear of that thing like a minefield in Afghanistan,I just got my 2000 GT back today and that is what was wrong with it a piston took a crap,car only had 20k miles on it lucky for me warranty is good for 75k miles
