As someone with a case 600 combine project I'll let you know what I think. The case 660 was fine combine in its day. Small enough to move on gooseneck. It has a 40 cylinder, which is huge for 2-row combine. Case also made a bunch of them, and many are still running. It is open and easy to work on. Case does not support it for parts. You are on your own. A combine that sets out in the weather for any length time will turn into junk. This is something that you will have to judge. From the sound of it the person should give it to you for free. The engine will fit in most of the smaller case tractors and backhoes, the VAC, Case 300b, Case 400B... Case 430 etc... Folks just about have to give away running gas combines. But it you are only going to do a few acres who cares if you use 3 gal or 5 gal of fuel? If you do not save the combine who will? By the way you should start this on the combine page. Tractor people bless them but they do not give combines the respect they should get. The combine was and is the most expensive and most important piece of equipment on the farm. If you do not get the crop in from the field everything you did is a waste.
If you have shucked corn by hand you will love your old combine. PS I am looking for Corn head and parts...But I move very slowly it has taken me years to get them moved, but Rome was not built in a day Good luck...
