Use Caution, $5000 is buying your lot of rust, and ???. That engine has not been run in a long time. Look at the tensioner pulley on the serp belt. The pulley face where the serpent belt runs is heavy rust, not have been driving a serp belt for a long time. Other wise the running surface would be clean and shine or at least devoid of heavy rust. The condition inside is totally unknown. Same goes for the NV-4500 all unknown. Is there any internal damage from the 5th gear coming off. Has the 5th gear retention modification been done, who knows. If I wanted a 4B engine, with what the seller shares and the price is $5K, I would not waste my time to look at it, even if it was close.
