anyone running bb402?

[grady5]

i was wondering if any body is running a bb402. i have a chance to get a complete motor for $300. of course it needs a rebuild. is that a good deal? i have heard they are not very reliable and have weak connecting rods. i had never heard of this motor so i looked around and year one says '70 is the last or only year it was avaliable in these trucks and mine is a '70 so i thought it might be a cool motor to use, and they say it has 375 hp stock. but since i dont know have much knowledge about mechanics i want something with low mantenance.anyone with experience with these motors pls help.
