Power Head Good Deal?

[baconbiscut]

I found this ebay# 360022673321. It's a 1955 5.5 HP Johnson Powerhead. I really only need it for the cylinder head but I then thought, Hey why not just get the whole darn thing. That way I i ever have mechanical failure I can swap ignition componets and carb and I'd be back in buisness. Well I opinions would be great. I have already bidded but I would still like to know wether or not you think i'm getting a decent a power head. I'm bidding to win! hopefully

so far it looks like a good deal, but note that it coils are cracked, so don't count on them.

If I use it i'll swap ignition components. My coils are only a year old
