Dodge 318 motor is a good work horse engine.........that one sounds like it has been rode hard and put away wet (not taken care of)

Are you a good mechanic?
Do you have monies for an engine rebuild?
Do you have time/place to work on it for a few months?

If you are looking for a 'project'........$1500
