I bought a 8BA engine a couple years ago that had been laying in the back yard of a neighbor for many years. The engine was stuck so I and the neighbor figured it was junk, I took a gamble on the engine because it was complete and had a truck bellhousing on it, gave the guy a $100.
Turned out everything inside of the engine was good except for the pistons and valves. I sold the engine to a guy that wanted a good re-buildible engine. The man called me back in a few weeks, the crank cleaned up at 10/10, the bore cleaned up at .030...
Ya never know till you look more closely at parts.
