Price out the cost of replacing the rod and main bearings, or an engine swap, and take it from there.

Personally, I would pass.
I had a trans rebuild and it failed only a few months after being repaired. It's only a bit more to get a completely new trans, and it's eons more reliable. That was only personal experience though, you could have a completely different situation.
Plus, what Arrow said. If you're in it for a project, yeah maybe, but as a DD, I'd look for something else.

Sounds like it will be more trouble then it's worth. They should have a few more supporting mods on there for that smaller pulley. I would say pass as well. You can find a better one out there. There are a bunch of GP's out there.

This is like Where's Waldo .. His coolant bottle looks like it's aiming out a bit towards the alternator, but that seems like a minor perfectionist thing. Aftermarket wires = bleh, but that's just imho .. I'm curious though, since you say you'd pass on it after seeing the engine bay .. TELL ME
