I don't know "shortbus" history, but I'd guess it's actually an LQ4. They both have the same 317 aluminum heads, except in 99 when they were still iron and the crank was longer behind the block.
What year is this engine supposedly? And is it just the longblock, or with accessories and harness? Either way, if engine is good (and not a 99), I'd say $1k was a good deal.
