Probably so, but it is hard to tell with internet pictures. Need to be seen in person. Need to clarify if it has a 351 or just a set of heads on a 302 block also. Get as much specs as you can out of it. It has had some suspension work along with a swap over to carb.

It could be good or bad.. Judging by the blown head gasket, The block/heads can be warped

idk if id do it.. granted head gaskets rnt that hard to change but the question is why did it blow?? could be warped heads/block or just detonation amongst other things. plus the camilion paint and the cowl just isnt doin it for me.. notches need to be clean and cowl hoods make notches look like a$$ IMO. and id rather efi than carb

Rinchesta, are you already tired of working on yours? LOL! Car looks clean. I wonder what a carfax would pull. With that said, I skip, unless(like everyones stated) you could see it in person.

because its a racing style bucket, thats probably old as ****.

and dont even say you wouldnt buy it because of that. With the style of the fox interior... a turd on the dash would make it more appealing!!

I'd say look at the body and make a choice based on such.
