Found a 355 but need advice....
Well atleast I think I did. Tell me what u guys think
'69 4-bolt 010 high nickel block (2-pc rear main, ARP main bolts)
-block was tanked, decked, bored .030"
10/10 cast crank
3/8" bolt Truck rods, ARP bolts
TRW flat top forged pistons, 9.82:1 compression
Moly total seal rings
Clevite77 bearings
Moroso 7 quart oil pan and pickup
Melling standard volume oil pump
Crane Energizer hydraulic cam and lifters
-284 advertised duration
-228* duration @ .050"
-.480" lift with 1.5:1 rockers
-112 LSA
-installed straight up
Cloyes true double roller timing chain
Cast aluminum timing cover
Sportsman II heads, 64cc chambers, 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, springs can handle up to .550" lift
1.5:1 aluminum roller rockers
Comp Cams magnum pushrods
Victor Jr. Intake
750 4160 Holley w/secondary metering block conversion and quick change secondary spring housing
Summit Racing distributor, 50,000 volt coil
Full accessories(water pump, alternator, PS pump, starter, brackets, belts)
Now what should I ask for this engine? He is a friend from where I Live and he told me to make him an offer. Any other questions I should ask him? He said it has 6000 trouble free miles on it and all I need is some headers and a battery and I am ready to go.

Same block/pistons/heads as me..
Prolly like $1500.00 if compression and stuff is still good.
figure it prolly cost him like, $3,000.00
if its non-roller.. More if it is.
