The gentleman that i bought it from has paper work from the engine builder stating that the block was checked. This was a long time project for him, he started the project almost 20 years ago. The engine was built 15 years ago and never fired. He has been collecting NOS parts from around the country ever since. He ran into health problems and had to sell the car. I got a tremendous deal on the car for what it is.
Finding this engine problem is a big bummer and has caused a decent amount of anxiety, however i knew there was some risk and I dont believe he knew about it. He has tried to buy the car back twice.
