Start it and listen for valvetrain noise, a slight ticking. Check the oil, if its alright, and the noise SHOULD be there, its got solid lifters.
Don't say that, now He'll just go out a get a bad 289, with messed up lifters-lol

Normaly I would tell u everything about the HiPo, but I'm so tired right now, All I can remember is compression, the HiPo had 10.5:1
