Re: New toys ...

I found the complete engine I've been looking for .. for an awesome price, but my $$ seems to be caught up in the system somewhere and it looks like I'm gonna miss out because Uncle Sam takes his sweet arse time when it's his turn to pay out. It sucks to know the money is there and coming.

347 Forged crank, rods, pistons
Ported TW heads
TFS Stage 2 Cam
Complete pan to intake ...

Anybody want to loan me 3 grand until next week

Re: New toys ...

Seems like that's the way it always works. Once you get the money the prices on everything will double, or no one will have anything in stock.

Re: New toys ...

Wow, sounds like a nice set-up.

Do you know what compression ratio it is?

Re: New toys ...

not sure yet as we're still going over the finer details of the possible transaction ... here's what he's said about it so far ... I'm going to ask about the compression ratio in our next pm exchange, I'm thinking it must be somewhere between 9-10:1

Motor was assembled to run decent n/a, or under mild boost on pump gas. Has less than 700 miles on it. With 9psi from an S-trim it put down 538rwhp@5800 rpm.
