400 doesn't seem like much. i'd pull plugs and look in, be sure it hasn't sat around for ages. take your 19mm and see if you can rotate it. this will be your project motor right?

 

if u mean project by going into my truck, then yes. i already plan on taking my compression tester, my 19mm, and plenty of questions. any other tools ?

 

i mean, the only reason im taken back is because the listing say "runs" lol.

definately go check on it. i dunno taking out motors is a risky business, why wouldnt you wanna put this engine in the dune buggy, (insted of swapping 2 motors, swap 1?

 

cuz my engine has 251,000 miles and im really skeptical about how much longer its got. i mean i keep up on oil changes, but the previous owner didnt. im not noticing any different performance, but my mom didnt either on her trooper until the engine blew up. got a new motor from isuzu (yuck ) and thats what i was driving until it was crashed. so yeah, you gettin my drift? i trust it, but i dont...
