seems like a good deal. but what worries me is that the owner says he will not warranty the motor.

If I bought it, I'd strip it down and check everything. Seems a bit odd that he wouldn't know the CR.

yeah. but i still am really considering it cause the low price. and i wouldnt have to take the time to build my motor. just drop this right in. only thing is i think he built it for his mustang so itll be a high RPM motor. but i got 410s so it should help conteract it a bit.

I agree with Duncan, Chris. If in fact it as all of those parts, it's probably a good buy.

it seems like a GREAT buy. i tried calling the guy but left a voicemail. hope he still has it.

I agree with Duncan as well. Pull it apart and check everything. I think he's saying no warranty to cover his arse....not in a derogatory way.

This engine was built by a 25+ year experienced professional mechanic.
This engine does not come with any waranty, it is fully rebuilt-theres ni need for a warrany.

It sounds like he did not build the motor. I wouldn't warranty a motor I didn't build either, and there's a good chance he has no warranty from the builder anymore.

well when i talked to him he said he was gonna put the motor in a mustang he sold. and i asked the reason behind why he didnt offer a warranty he told me that he didnt wanna end up being on the hook for something that he didnt do. like as in the person who buys it like redlines the hell out of it and blow it up and try to say it was put together wrong. but idk. im considering it. ill probably go look at it.

there you go!! still same thing about the valve covers.. get spacers

 

[5.0Flareside]

ill probably just switch valve covers. sell the aluminum carb intake and carb and get some of my money back. and sell the rest of the HO motor. i wont have much money into this at all.

 

[F 150Cobra]
