      Everybody is quick to hate the 351M but I have one in my 75 merc, and let me tell you, the low end torque is just awesome.

      Just something to keep in mind. A well running M isnt a bad engine

        The guy said in an email its only exterior rust is at the trim for the vinyl top, but that could go deep.

        And i was more turned off about not being able to use small block parts on it, I'm assuming.

          Plus, you'd have to get creative with the fuel plumbing.

            That would be the least of my worries! I still plan to do this to some old 302 Ranger/Bronco, LTDII or other such funky sedan.

                Ad reads: "I drive the car several days a week, so it has not been sitting."

                That's good to know

                  Buy it!!!! Worst comes to worst, you can always re-sell it, but you'll be kicking yourself for years to come thinking about that car if you don't get it.

                      You only live once. Looks to be a fairly solid and sharp car. Buy it and play with it.
