What do you think about THIS?

I found a rebuilt roller 350 short block, with new flat top hyp. pistons, LT-1 roller cam with lifters, freshly ground crank, and new bearings and oil pump for $695.00.

I think I should grab that right quick!

What do you guys think?

No guarantee...private seller...and the pistons aren't installed, but they're new.

It seems like a nice deal.

Re: What do you think about THIS?

It sounds good IF you can check the bearings. Anything they won't let you check is guaranteed bad. If they say go ahead and check, then start to do so, and pay more attention to their faces than the parts. If they were bluffing, you'll see their anxiety easier than you'll spot any bad parts.
