Really all kinds of things wrong with that ad. You covered the paint inside the engine and the thin wall casting. Add to that:

All casting info ground off heads (what are they? They're pre-'74, whatever they are), rusty bolts, grungy bare aluminum, Chevy orange not even applied carefully/thoroughly. No info whatsoever on parts used for rebuild.

Honestly, if you can't be bothered to properly paint a rebuilt engine and choose to use rusty bolts on the outside, how can anything done inside be trusted? This looks like nothing more than a hack job consisting of spare parts thrown together for the purpose of fleecing someone out of some money.
