I see what happened. You saw a Craigs List ad and posted it to get our opinion. Problem was everyone thought the craigslist ad was yours. I say make a new thread but here's a tip. If you copy and paste an ad or any other information that is someone elses words use the quote feature.
Then you post something like this:
I saw and ad that says:
Then ask "What do you guys think?"

- 198? CJ7 with a roteed out frame. Dana 30/44, T176, I6.
Personally I would pay more for an engine with 10K miles on it than a fresh rebuilt. Too many people putting things together that don't really know what they are doing and I include engine shops in that catagory. But that may not be the case hear, I don't know.
The add does say you can hear it run so that is a plus. As far as the value, $1500 or $1600 seems fair but I would want to see his receipts that should total more than that.
Another thing to consider is how complete is it? Power steering pump, alternator, and all that will help add to the value.

- Street Jeep for snow and ice, still on blocks in the driveway. '73 CJ5, 258 inline six, T18 tranny, Model 20 transfer case, Dana 30/44 w/ 4.27 ratio (soon to be 3.73), original Cutlas hubs, half-cab waiting to be installed. Daily driver is a 20-year-old Mazda pickup.
You're not that far away from Boston--check the Boston craigslist site. I believe there's one on there now with a rebuilt head for $200. Saw another one recently, completely rebuilt, for $300 or $400.

Sheesh--thought you were in CT! (I blame the pain meds.)
