Some say junk some have changed heads and camshaft and have a powerful engine.
You MAY find a steel forged crank, good rods, windage tray, double roller timing chain with low compression.
You MAY find cast bottom end again with low compression.
I would buy it, a 440 and 727 with some work can't go wrong now that there are many types of aftermarket heads available.
