Hi James,
I'm Derek, thanks for responding to my email. the engine turns over, i cranked it by hand yesterday. there's still oil in the oil pan. i'll attach a picture of the engine. you can see the water pump and starter are missing, as well as the air cleaner. otherwise its all there. if you want the bellhousing also, i'm asking $300. $250 without. lemme know what you think
thanks again
derek
