Should I buy this engine?

[gtrman00]

I found a 2000 GT long block that has 20,000 miles on it. I am told that it seized up. It comes with the block, rotating assembly, and heads. No accesories or manifolds. The guy selling it says he doesn't think the cams got starved for oil, but he really doesn't know much about the engine. He is only asking $100 bucks for it though. What are the chances of an engine being rebuildable after seizing up. Is it worth the 100 bucks to find out? I am thinking about buying this as a second engine that I can build up slowly as I save up money. Any advice?

Go for it. I've been thinking about doing the same. Find a cheap shortblock or long block to build up for possible boosting down the road.

Its worth 100 easy for the block and if the heads are good you may have a steal.

I don't really have the money or space to build up an engine right now, if any one else is interested in this deal pm me and I'll send you the guys info.
