Offer $2500 and go from there. Always start lower than you know he will take and that way it gives you room to meet in the middle from there.

Id say a lil over 300. I think i was lookin at that motor earlier actually haha. It's too low compression for me.

And yes i think its a good deal for sure!!

That car with the low compression would maybe make 270-280rwhp but not 300. High compression with heads/cams/intake are making 330rwhp and I think that the low compression would make it a dog unless you put a twin screw blower on it right outta the gate. With a centri blower it will be a dog til you hit full boost. You want a 9.2:1 compression with a centri, not 8.5:1.

Do you know what the setup with that motor was on the car it was in last? With that low of compression that motor must have gotten the living hell boosted out of it.
