Alright, I know I posted about this in General Discussion, but the questions I'm wanting answered now are better suited for here.

Here's the ad for the engine:

Block casting number 2468130-1
Block casting date 6-20-64 (date block was cast, not built).
Bore size stamp near distributor hole A383 71 (appears to be assembled on July 1).
Head casting number 3462346 (71-73 model 79.5CC  w/2.08/1.74 valves).
Pistons .030 over forged flat tops, no valve relief (.006 below deck height).
Steel crank.
Balanced rolling assembly.
Stock rods.
.010/.010 crank (not welded).
New S.S valves.
New Comp Cam springs.
New keepers and retainers.
New valve guides .
ARP bolt kit (heads and rods).
Purple shaft cam (Mopar Performance).
Mopar performance lifters.
New Mopar performance timing set.
High volume oil pump.
No short cuts, no cheap stuff, built right by professional machine shop.

The guy wants $1,500. Does this seem like a good deal?

How about the heads? Are they good performing heads? Performance? Compression ratio??

Also, with the right intake, carb, and cam, how much power could I get out of it?

Thanks!

I know I'm being pesky, but I'm about to close the deal for this engine and would really like some input.
