Bored .30 over to 306 cid, speed pro forged pistons, pollished crank, 680 lift cam, roller rockers, milled heads with 202 valves comp double springs.

Ask for a copy of the receipt, the build sheet, and the dyno pull. If he doesn't have it, forget about it, he's probably full of it and you would have no clue as to what your getting for your money, or what lies your buying.

as soon as I saw 500hp 306 I thought BS. and 680 lift cam is insane.
I would ask what it idles like too. You plan on driving that on the road as dailey driver?

but $2,700usd isn't a bad deal if its for real

Thats not true we made 592 with damn near 11:1, fully ported TFS heads and custom ground cam, few other tricks and spinning it to 7200. its not impossible at all

7200 is way up there. very impressive. i was under the impression this was to be a street motor tho. maybe i read to much into it. how steetable was your motor?
