Default pretty sure i got a banging deal, but if you see something bad, tell me

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...53501
i got all this for 54 bucks shipped, if you guys can tell me what y8 manifold that is, i would appreciate it, and if the head is in good condition, i would like to get it hot tanked then p/p and put it onto my existing car, which is a y7, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING YOU SEE WRONG WITH THE PARTS, and now i can use that valve cover to paint on, and if it looks good, i will just use that cover, but if it comes out bad, i can use the existing one on my car....i think i got a hell of a deal........ or
thanks

Eh. Just cause the car was running when it was taken off, doesnt mean its not warped or something. Good Price I guess.

well yea, i mainly got it because i was going to buy an intake manifold from a friend for 40 bucks, then came across this, the only parts off this i know i will use is the cover and mani, thats all i need, but if the head comes out ok........that will be a bonus

well i think he was just planning on getting the intake manifold.. but found a whole head instead... i say its a good price since y8 manifolds are around that price... and

only problem i see is that its the head on the bare floor. so you might want to have it resurfaced or milled.

The intake manifold alone is worth your $54. I sold my bare 2k y8 manifold for $100 alone. Piece the head back together and get it checked out, then sell it.

ok the head doesn't look like it was hot tanked, still looks dirty, plus I don't think you can hot tank aluminum because the acid will eat it away.

It also seems to be missing keepers.

Plus if the cam has been laying around like that. There is a probability that it warped, so i would check the runout on it if you got the tools to do so.

he said it hasn't been hot tanked YET. Looks good but coming from a fellow Ebayer he's gonna try to rape you on shipping.
