upside-down Varioram - oil starvation?

I am in the process of sourcing a 3.6 Varioram for a conversion into my 87 Coupe.

I found a VRam at an auto salvage shop with low miles, but I have learned that the original car was upside down as a result of a crash, and was RUNNING/IDLING for quite some time before the car was put back on it's wheels and turned off.

Did the engine suffer from oil starvation from idling upside down... OR was there sufficient draw from the tank to properly lubricate the upside-down engine???

Do I buy it and pray, or find another one?



Please HELP
