Same deal, it won't pass smog. He's had it for sale for a while for $7K (the equivalent of the engine costs) and the only guy to even look at it offered $1500 just for that reason, it'll never be registered for the street again, it's too much work to legalize it. Maybe things are different in your area, and if so, go for it, but I've seen lots of nice, running, hot-rodded Foxes go for dirt cheap lately while stockers sell for twice the price just because they're easy to register and drive. Check ebay or the For Sale forums on Stangnet.com and you'll see what I mean always some big-dollar, well built cars with thousands spent on blowers, cams, aftermarket intakes, and on and on being parted out because nobody wants to pay even pennies on the dollar for a car they can't register. Sad but true.
