A few items to check before purchasing:
Try to verify engine mileage.
Does the salvage yard offer a replacement if the engine does not run.
Hand crank the engine over to ensure it is not frozen.
Check to see that no water has gotten inside.
No visible damage to the block or heads.
Oil in the crank case.
