I wouldn't do it. Exterior looks beat and clearly needs body work & a paint job. The way the loom is off that engine harness looks like a potential nightmare. Maybe I'm not seeing things clearly, but the coolant passages (or whatever their technical name is) looks milky, like he blew a headgasket or somehow otherwise had oil mixing in his coolant. If that is what I'm seeing, there's no telling if it overheated to an extreme and something is really out of wack. He did bored it out, deck the block, and doesn't have the head; so to me that's an obvious sign of a previous issue. Don't get me wrong, the parts are good and all. I just wouldn't trade my car for someone else's unfinished/unassembled project car. And if your car runs (with a t-belt) and the body is in good condition, then it'd be a downgrade.
