That will just about guarantee a junk engine that some flipper dragged out of a back yard.
There are 8 MAFCA chapters in the Bay Area. Join one. Contact all of them and let them know you are a new owner with a bad engine and ask if someone in their chapter has a decent running engine for sale. You'll probably find one for the same $500 but it won't be a rusty lump.
BTW - A running Burtz will set you back $10,000 if you build it with all new parts. They've also jacked the price up to $4,200 on the Block Kit and $20-25 on their other parts. Tariff anticipation???
Everyone was right Model As arrive pregnant. We added a Tudor yesterday. Bob Bidonde's advise to get a reference library going is spot on. Your first book should be the Les Andrews red book. Our Tudor came with a pretty good collection.
MAFCA chapters - There may also be some MARC chapters in your area.
