Sounds like a good deal for $450. The bores do tend to wear worse on the NA blocks, but its a combination of the softer alloy and the build up of soot they tend to get around the rings. Without the turbo to push in some air and help clean things up, they get sooted up over time. That is just like rubbing sand paper up and down the cylinder walls constantly. Make sure to run some good oil in it, such as 5w-40 synthetic. Rotella T is always the cheapest around here, Waly-world has it for $19 a gallon.
