hmmm... depends upon how good of shape its in, I wouldn't pay more than 1000 for it myself (picked all mine up for under 800 each) but, the z20 isnt a bad motor... doesn't have as much hp as its latter model counterparts. most I have seen die around 200-300k depending on service and care.

Is it a Z20 or L20b. Should be an L20b because its a 1980. Pretty good motor and you get more milage out of it than the Z. Looks good. I paid 3500 for mine so its up to you. :wavey:
