yep, what zach said.

the internals might be worn, chrome flaking, etc due to age/milage. really wont know until you pull it out and have it rebuilt.

OTHERWISE do any of you know where to find a reliable motor? thanks

Depending on the year, I have some parts. I also am about to start doing a few rebuilds for other ppl. Just not taking any cars and not doing installs. Time and space prohibits me from working on other ppls cars, but i can do engines.

Once you get it out let me know and I can tell you how to take it apart and inspect.

most likely you will get it to run, but the oil control rings will be weak and she will start to blow smoke. If that happens its better to rebuild then instead of messing up that motor down the road.
