Gary,
I'd at least pull the valve cover, dist. cap & oil pan to see how much,
if any corrosion is evident. If it looked good, I'd probably buy it and
spec. the rod and main bearings and if they checked out, see if it would
run.

A local guy has some tr25/6 stuff he is getting rid of. In the package
is a rebuilt TR250 engine. He purchased a basket case TR250 that the
guys had rebuilt the engine in only to find that the body shope told him
not to waste his time on the car. Anyway this guy had a TVR & purchased
the package & parted all but the running gear. It's been sitting in his
folks house for 20 yrs & never started. He makes no claim/knowledge
about the rebuild. He's asking $300 for the engine.
What say the group? Do I go for it, drain it, turn over by hand & mock
it up on a stand & try running it, or just assume I need to pull it
apart & do a complete re-build?
Your input would be most appreciated.
