    Chris, I live in Manhattan, and would be happy to check out the engine for you, but I know literally nothing about the V8s, confining my activities to the big and baby sixes...

    just fyi- offer him 600 or less for the motor,600 was his original price- the same guy had that same ad with lower prices, then posted a thread on over at bimmerforums.com with the inflated prices. a member there called him out on it- he raised the prices before offering it to the only people who may actually want it. Then when we found the ad with low prices he upped them too- seems like an ok guy but you can talk him down is all I'm getting at
