    I know it's impossible to tell if an engine has been rebuilt from the outside but judging from this picture, what are your thoughts?360 Post.jpg

    If shes running good, ain't smoking, not stalling or back firing whats the problem if it's been rebuilt? What's the rest of her look like, double Ds and all?

    I’ve yet to check her out in person, just tuning up the salesman. When I asked him about the engine he said the previous owner stated it had been rebuilt, just no idea when. As for the rest, it appears to be pretty clean based on the pictures. No idea why they didn’t paint the engine bay (thick fiberglass tub). Might make the hour trip this weekend and see her in the flesh.

    Thanks fellas!
