Default Experts opinion

As the title says, coming to the experts. Looking at a 1995 4x4, 318 automatic. Fresh engine rebuild. Take a look. Worth the price? Common problems? Are the intake plenums messed up on these earlier daks too? I have had a Ram (5.2) and a 3rd gen Dak (4.7). Thanks.

Looks decent. Price is okay if it is perfect condition, but always go lower. Yes the plenum gasket is a common problem as well as the notorious power splice which causes stalling and no-start, check the FAQ for a write up on it if needed.

That looks like a good buy. And as Crazy says, always go in lower. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys, unfortunately the guy who looked at it right before me bought it. I was actually on my way to see it. The search continues!
