The price isn't bad. If it were a little newer, I would say that if you had a line on a working motor, to go for it. Then again, if you can get a good, working motor for a song, then you might as well.

To sum it up:

If you can get a cheap enough replacement engine, YES
If you cannot get a cheap enough replacement engine, NO.
