Either way its gonna cost me Bugger. Sounds a nice motor, but have to obviously have to be careful in a situation like this. The cars only driven 35k mile, stored 9-10 yr's, but hasnt got the original engine as was high spec and previous owner took it out. As to why im wary?

Gary, make sure it has a 200 block, 2wd block and 4x4 head don't usually mix=high comp=blown gasket
£60 head gasket, bolts £30,skim if required £60 time to strip and rebuild
oil and filter,coolant etc
ONLY IF THE HEAD IS OK TO BE REUSED AND NOT UNDER SIZE
BE WARNED MATE, DON'T WANT YOU STICHED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I recall a recent post on here about a sierra for sale with a blown head gasket, might be same person ?
You could do a deal where you got the head off and verified the bill before payment... if he is for real he should be ok with that...
