I know they are good reliable motors from what other fellows have said, I never owned one that big hp wise. 
I do know they are rather thirsty beasts though.

 Yeah, it was only 30 minutes from me.  I was just wondering about the reputation of the motor.  
The auction was ending within a day so I didn't really have time.  At the time, the price was pretty low so I was just eyeing it.  I am not really looking for a new motor but always keeping my eyes out for a deal.
The price went up a lot in the last hour....still maybe a good deal but not without checking it out in person.
