Way too many km's for the cash.

if you plan to rebuild the engine the rest of the driveline will also need attention and the suspension+brakes would need checking over

2k should buy you something with half the k's, something with that many km's will be lucky to get around $500

I just got an nf recently with half as many km's but with a 4.0L for $200 and it was still rego'd when I got it. I would agree and say 2 grand is a bit steep

If it's only 2K and you're going to mod the hell out of it I would only worry about wether it's been pranged or if it's rusty...mechanicals are easy to fix. stick a 351 in it like EBXR says(wow It wasn't me who said it first)
 Finally you guy's are learning!
