Default 302 for $75

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/318564889.html

is this a really good deal? i don't need it, i just want sumthin to mess with. ive never had a hands on experience with working on an engine except for like replacing the battery, or changing the oil. so im thinking this will be a good learning experience or maybe and investment. r
i could rdebuild it and sell it or maybe keep it. if i do rebuild it how much would it sell for?

Buy it and think of the 75 bucks as just a lab fee. Take it apart, clean it up, measure, reassemble, practice.. learn... don't worry about what you can get for it. Tear it up and use it for a good learners aid.

yea, I'd say get it. The first time I ever disassembled/reassembled an engine (289) it was a great experience.
