Dan;
When looking at the shortblock about the only thing to really check out since the motor is out of the vehicle is the cylinder bore wear,you do not want to bore it more than .040 and .030 is prefered..... had to bore mine .040 and at the time it was the only block I had,now, I have a couple of spares.........
When taking the motor apart,whether you do it or the present owner,save all the bolts and nuts and any related hardware you can,you will need it later on.......
As far as the 300 pound chunk of iron goes,anywhere but in the house,the misses will not like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
