Default 351 for swap.

Hey guys. I plan to swap a 351w into my 1967 coupe that currently has a 289. Ive been looking on craigslist for some deals and I came across this 1970 351w, complete carb to pan for $250 dollars. Id have to drive almost 4 hours to pick it up. Do you all think its worth it? What kind of questions should I ask the guy before deciding if I should buy it? Thanks for the help.

Yeh, no bad. I don't remember the 70 having that distributor though! Make sure to check the casting number and see if he'll let you take the manifold and heads off. If he does and it looks its decent, go for it. If he won't, make sure you can rotate it with a 15/16" on the balancer!
