  The paint job is something else. Never covered the tracks, & still has a tail light all masked up. I'd be wary of this machine.

It's probably not that bad.  I think it has to do with the fisherman 'quick fix'.  :D

On the third picture there is a hole below and in the ceter of the rad door.  Mine had a hole in the same spot.  Was this used to power Ice auger off of the engine?

I think this one would be a good to modify some. How would a V8 fit in a narrow?

yes the hole is for power take off...
   302v8..will fit in the narrow without cutting the tub..tight though..
I like the 302 in the narrow,have had 3........on the same breath..if it had a good flathead ..i'd leave it alone.
...and if it has a 300 i'd not change....the 300 six is a lttle heavier motor,makes up for it though with torque,as it is way more powerful on bottom end.
