James, Hey, I did not even get a chance to see this one, my bad.
A few hilarious comments and observations: "He sold the car last year, incredibly the buyer didnt want the engine (assuming it was THE engine for that supposed car) Hmmm, makes one wonder. Maybe the buyer did not know what a Z was? just wanted a beater to drive? yea, right. This engine must have been an over the counter purchase because it never had a VIN stamped in it. You could just whack your VIN in it."(hey, what a great idea. Another fake VIN, just what the world needs?) and, this red flag gem, "Im selling this for my buddy John." along with 1 head cast on the same day the engine was built and the other 12 days after assembly!! Course seller says they are 1.94s I am sure that is just the surface of issues with this ad's engine?

With that build date, I am sure it is by the filter. Guy probably does not know that. Ask for some pics.

honestly it is complete major components for the engine, intake heads crank rods pistons... not bad for 4500 if the stamp checks out.
