Pic's would be nice, cause it's hard to say without seeing the car. Sounds nice thou, do you know the owner or is this off a Craigslist ad? " Reliable and fast " is kinda a catch 22, usually don't go together but if built right maybe. It's your call, I usually give it a couple days and if I can't stop thinking about it, then make an offer YOUR comfortable with. If he's got all the receipts, that helps alot.

Sounds like a beast thou, keep us informed.

You'd better hope the machine work quality is excellent with that build. Mexican or not, its still a 302. I would have hoped they'd have taken advantage of a slightly stronger block and been spot on with machine work and balancing

Im a bit skeptical on why someone would put a brand new turbo on it have it dyno'd drive it 30 miles then sell it.

If it truly made 603 on the dyno that is really pushing that block . For 10k the entire car would have to be emaculant in show room condition. For me big motors , turbos and mods don't dictate price, if the car is not exceptionally clean inside and out. Try and get some pics up or post a link to the add where you found it.

Your market dictates the price of it. Frankly I don't think the guy is out of line at 10k for the car. It looks to be really clean and there is a lot of work done to it.

I would ask for receipts and dyno sheets , any kind of records he has. Those will speak a lot for the work.

Considering there are not that many of them for sale in that area and the ones that are for sale are mostly stock , and they are asking between 5-8k.
