who cares about miles man, get a 318 then you'll be able to drive it for a half a million before she kills over unless you plan on putting jetfuel in it.

$600 is way to much for that motor. I paid $400 for my 360 out of a 1994 Dodge 2500 with 100K miles. I also got to hear it run before I bought it.
