Sort of haphazard looking for 15 large. I would have expected a much cleaner job. Maybe I expect too much of people.

Here's what an engine that costs that much should look like in the end. No, it's not an engine but it's what the engine (and car brought home).

Best of luck,

Most engines I've seen need a whole bunch more than rings, bearings and a gasket kit. Notice the seller doesn't use the term "rebuilt". In the old days they would call the work this engine has had an overhaul.

Seller has dropped price from $17.5K.........with shops wanting about that much for a quality rebuild,
I'd say this is a good buy because of what it is, a near 40 year old antiquity and thats what you are buying, a piece of nostalgic history. A chance to get a feel for what it was like.
Now if you wanted power, well that's another story. you can buy any day for 15 large, some bigger/better power.
this early engine is not something you can come across all the time and is best suited for an early application.
If you cannot afford a real S, you can always stick an S motor in that T for that same smiles per gallon.......but for less$$$!
It all has to do with what you are aiming for.
Tonite, I drove a 70 with a 3.6 and it was just pure driving joy.

It looks incomplete and cobbled together. It is missing most exhaust studs on one side and the one that is there is rusty, it has JE pistons rather than original S pistons, it's missing the injectors, the ad states it has a T rather than S pump, there is no oil cooler, and on and on. The guy is asking three times what an engine that has all of the correct parts would be worth. Sounds like he is trying to sell it on the strength of the case number alone. I would keep looking.

And the H/E's appear to be for a carburated engine. There is no outlet for the MFI pump thermostat. Gary

If if was properly rebuilt they could actually be asking to little....

But for what they are offering with the observations made they are asking too much.

IMHO
