ok, Im lookin at a car, and this is described about it
"It ran very good til the other day when i started the car and started backing out, a big puff of white smoke came out. Then i checked the coolant and it was completely empty and i even filled it up that morning."
what is that? head gasket?

well I only need it to run for about a month, after which I will be putting an RB into it, so would you mind telling me WHY I should stay away?

in that case go for it, but you should have said you were putting an RB in it in the first place
edit: I'm sure in 1 month you will put an RB in. have you even ordered it yet? And do you have a shop all ready in order to do it?
from your previous question i can tell that you aren't that mechanically inclined and therefore it might take a little longer than you think to put a new engine in
I tend to agree with JerkFaceJason.
You should stay away from that car because the engine is done for: blown headgasket a real possibility, and you know what kind of damage it could do to the bloc.

Am I the only person more excited about dropping a DOHC in my car than an SR or RB?
