72 Olds 350 motor w/7A heads & stock intake...almost complete

I'm getting ready to pull this 350 out of my 72 Supreme. The block casting # is 395558 and it has 7A heads with casting # 409 147. It has the stock intake, casting # 410446 and a Q-jet carb. Comes with an HEI distributor installed as well as the original points distributor as an extra. The A/C parts, alternator and brackets are not incuded.
I bought this car w/engine 5 years ago and was told it was running. By the time I went to pick up the car, the seller had stripped the battery, starter and fuel pump so I was not able to verify that it ran. Unknown if any work was ever done on this motor and the mileage is also unknown. Pick up only unless you arrange your own crating & shipping.
I also have a Chevy TH350 that was bolted to this motor if anyone is interested in that.
$350 for the motor, can be picked up in the Detroit area (48073 zip). $75 for the tranny. I will post more pics when the motor is removed.
Thanks for looking!

OK, so I took out the spark plugs and squirted some oil in the cylinders and it cranked over freely and smoothly by hand. I then put the plugs back in and cranked it over again and the compression was strong. I drained the antifreeze and it was like new and was probably fresh when I bought the car. There does not appear to be any gaskets on the exhaust manifolds which would indicate that the heads have likely never been removed (or just put back on without gaskets). The intake does not look like it has ever come off either but I can't say for certain. My honest opinion would be that this motor is stock/original. I have not drained the oil yet to see how it looks but will likely do so this weekend.

I'd prefer to sell it whole but I haven't had a lot of interest in the whole motor yet. I'm going to put it on our local Craigslist and see what happens. If it doesn't sell complete, I'll give you first dibs on the heads.
