Hi there. All I can tell you about the motor is that it ran when it was parked quite a few years ago......Not sure how good. My brother-in-law tried to start it a few months back but the starter turned over very slow. It is missing a voltage regulator and battery so we're not sure if it runs. Engine is free that's about all I can tell you. It's never been rebuilt so I'm sure it would definitely need a rebuild or could use as a core..... I'm going to ask my husband about draining the oil to check for any particles, coolant, etc....Thanks
