George,
That is why we have you on this site...To ask these kinds of questions.
I seriously have never been a VW or Porsche man until recently so I always turn to you guys first before making any kind of decisions.
He had told me that he did have the receipts, he had the engine build for a car that he ended up selling (probably a race car). He currently has the engine on a stand and can run it for me. He was actually going to drive from his home town to the engine builder to sell it back since they were friends but since it's not far from me, I thought I could save some shipping costs if it could work for my car.
We haven't spoken much but he said that it was a 9:1 or 10:1 compression and might be a little sluggish at stop lights.
I will certainly ask him the questions you posted and I would appreciate some more advice (yes/no) after I give you his answers.
If he does have all the receipts for this engine, what would you say it's worth?

Thanks,
John
