if you can get that motor started up and running, you may realize more than you are asking. Otherwise its a gamble whether the motor and trans is any good; hence smaller buyer pool willing to take risk
I checked the motor serial and trans serial and it says they are from an '83, but it probably has a bunch of years put on the top for all I know. Thanks for the tip though and it's good to know this stuff. I will try to get it to run, it did run, but I barely have time to sleep as it is. Thanks for the post.
