Uhhh pretty sure he's retarded.

He actually says "know what it is, don't low ball me" He has almost $20,000 in it! ;)

That's been on there for almost a year now. It was a 347 before. Now its shrunk.

[venom]

I saw that the other day. I don't even understand some of the ad. For $10,000 I would make sure the ad made sense.

[scorpio333]

I love the phrase, "don't low ball me". That one never gets old. It's like that button on the wall with "don't push this button" written on it.

[yeahloh95]

sounds like a good deal ?

[wick]

I'm curious to know more about the MSI ignition. Is that some new state-of-the-art set up? Does it come with the blower mounted to the bracket? Hmmm.

[TooFast98Cobra]

stock block?

[Tony71502]

I'm pretty sure if you put 20k into an engine you are retarded. Dart block with sick heads,cam, and TT can be built for less...

Also, didn't know fuel system was part of the engine.... damn why isn't my pump, filter, lines and tank mounted to mine? I must be in the stone age.

I have a NMRA Pure street motor sitting in my garage right now that RGR built. Cost 38g. Guess I ride the short bus?

That's expensive garage art. I have posters on my walls...you have motors on display.

20k is nothing to spend on a competive motor built for a class. Sonny's are 75k plus. My R331 I have for sale was 12.5k to build and that is just a mild x275 motor and Proline hooked it up on the build. I cant stand when people make comments and have no clue what they are talking about or have never owned anything but a H/C/I stock block build. Rant over.

[PaxtonShelby]

Point was that he is asking for a fair amount of money, but didn't support the price with any details. Maybe the motor is a quality block with lots of expensive goodies in it and pricey custom machine work - but if that's the case, put some of that info into the ad...

[Tony71502]

Wasn't talking about pure racing engines there, bud. Didn't mean to twist your nipples with that comment. But 20k on a ford 5.0 block? That is retarded. I do know that race engines can cost well in excess of that, but Mr. supercharger brackets with cold air intake is clearly not a race engine.

Based on all the seriously nice stuff I've seen you selling around here, I picture your garage looking something like the Summit Racing showroom.

I'd post a pic but would probably get robbed and my security system isn't hooked up yet

[earleymp]

This seems retarded to me considering I could buy an off the shelf 306 crate engine for not even $4k? Or a 302 or somethin with more power for that much or probably even less
