Try asking him where he got the head. Is he selling online? Just one head, or is he a business? Best bet is to go to a source that other people have used before.

I bought mine from a cop out of his crusier. I don't think he's gonna rip me off. Oh yeah, I got the paperwork on it too.

i dont think u can tell if the head is stolen or not. i think the only things u can trace to see whats legit are trannies and blocks.

True...you cant really tell. Legit engines are known by the engine serial number and the ttanny #.

yeah it's his own he said, but im not sure though. what if it is stolen and my friend buys it, and a cop pulls him over and pops his hood, finding that its not the original engine, would they tow his car? or they just wouldn't know the head is stolen or not?

dude i am a cop and let me tell you, 1st off there is no serial # that is visible on the head, and secondly the fbi which maintains ncic does not keep that shit up to date. as for a cop opening your hood and trying to figure out if a head is legit or not, this must be one motherfucker with nothing to do.

ummmmm... OK, those who don't know I bought my head from nov now you do. It is the head in the invoice from JG right?

You're right though, the head is pretty untracable, I'd still like to see docs if I were going to buy one. Just use common sense with your money. "Caveat emptor"
