Yep $200 is a pretty good deal for a core engine. BUT you want to be sure what your getting. It could be a 360 or 352 unless you dig inside a bit. Since the engine is a core engine anyway the guy should not mind you taking a head off to measure the bore. And removing the oilpan to check the crank numbers. When I buy used stuff if I'm not allowed to do that I walk. Some guys are FOS and don't want their bluff called it seems. Pickup a copy of the Steve Christ book to bring with you to compare numbers. Granted the book has some errors but is still a pretty good source. A 360 has the same 4.05 bore as the 390 just a 3.50 stroke. The 352 has a 4.00 bore and a 3.50 stroke. Both 360 and 352 use long rods and won't work in a 390. 390 has a 3.78 stroke.
