Car Info: '00 BRP RS Sedan / '04 PSM FXT (RIP)

I'm interested as I've been looking for a swap candidate for my RS for some time. Compression/leak down test would go a long way, as LxJLthr noted.

If you can, compression/leak down test the motor to see if it healthy. That will alleviate a lot of concerns or potential hesitations.

EDIT: Just noticed something. Is the trunk floor/spare tire well tweaked in the last picture?

The trunk floor is tweaked.

Estimate from the body shop to repair the floor
Labor: 5.0 hours
Paint: 1.2 hours

I just bought a compression tester and leak down tester.
Once I get my RSTI completed, I can provide these numbers.
