I agree the $25k sounds a bit suspicious for the engine and toploader. KC built my FE and toploader - vintage heads, intake, block, transmission and I probably ended up somewhere around $15 to 16K total. It's certainly not date coded - more like "decade" coded. Still think if you could buy that car for around $90-92k I would not have any second thoughts about it.
