The galley runs down the driver's side of the block. I tried to find a nice EZ to understand photo of the SO block and for some reason couldn't seem to find one for you. The shot below is from the ERA web site and is better than nothing. If the engine is in running condition I can understand the "not wanting to take it apart" position. If it's not running, I would think the guy would be receptive to somebody saying "I'd like to have the engine dis-assembled, and you get to keep all the parts." If it were me, my proposition would be "Let's agree on the price. Then I'll pay to have it dis-assembled and tested and if it passes, I'll buy it, and if it fails, you get all the parts back and you can then sell them individually on Ebay." He should go with that deal because it means either the block is not what he says it is or it failed an important test.
