yeah i had a look at one today that had its rings and bearings done. i could have got it for 700 cash but i probably would have only bought it for 450.
it ran fine but...
i suspect it had a blown head gasket (virtually certain).
the water pump rotor snapped and was replaced (wierd)
it was rough at idle (it was susposedly stock)
it ran a little hot
the radiator coolant was dirty
there was hardly any flow through the radiator
and there was either what seemed like a fuel problem or valve bounce at 6400rpm it would NOT rev past that.
am i being too critical
i was thinking 400 for a complete motor to be rebuilt or 1000-1200 for a recently fully rebuily one.
is this unrealistic?
thanks

Raidator is probally clogged up from crap. Flush it out and the block at the same time. If it ran hot dah think no raidator flow ?? might be that the thermostat is farked 6400 out of a 18RG pretty good id say. Valve bounce isnt something u want to hear and if the engine cuts out at high revs ie. no fuel....well put that down to experaince 
Stick clear of crappy engines like that.. it might sound good in theory but in reality they wont be that good. neeeds new head gasket your looking at a few new bits  might be more wrong with it then just that.
