Looking at a 142, what to look for

As far as older pushrod designs go I've found the B18 and B20 to perform very well. They certainly rev a lot better and put out more usable torque than other OHV four cylinder cars I've driven.

I'm sure they rev even better when there isn't a bashed crank gear stuck on the end.
Learn from my mistakes.
Wait, are we still trying to convince the OP that he should buy this car?
 
Ha, I can appreciate them from afar. Hoping someone I know buys it so I can take it for a rip.

I used my B21 as ballast on the engine hoist as I put the LS in my 242, more my kind of thing right now.
 
The main reason I can't get it is because it would have to live in my yard. That would kill that car quickly. It would never dry out, and by the time I got through my current project, the 142 would be rusty. I have 3 parking spaces (1 is in the grass) and a 1 car garage. I have 4 cars.
