Default Just ordered Benett Racing Motor

I just ordred 427 create motor for my 1990 lx. I bought this car from down south Jersey. He was selling it on Ebay and the motor must have been going thats why he sold it. I didnt even take the car to the track. The block lost oil pressure and and started to over heat. Took the car to valley performance and they told me that the block was cracked. He also said car had a 306 DSS block and forged internals. I got taken for a ride on this deal. I will also post his screen name just in case he desides to get someone else.Hopefully Benette racing motor will last me a long time.You cant find honest people anymore.I got taken .But what comes around goes around!!!!!!!!!! Paid 12,500 you might have seen this car on ebay he sais this car was on pinks all out.....

You should contact Ebay and let them know, they don't like people ripping others off since it's bad for business. They may close his account so he can't sell on Ebay and rip others off

DSS blocks are reworked stock blocks. they are ford cores, nothing special about them.
12.5k for a fox is PRICEY unless it is really showroom condition with super low miles.

I have a DSS 306 motor in my car and I have never been completely happy with it. I am in the process of helping a friend of mine do some research on getting a motor and Bennett came to mind about 2 weeks ago. When you get your motor you have toput upsome post on your experience with the motor. My friend should be leaving Iraq early next year and I will be home in June. I want to yank the DSS block and put a better block in there. All we can do is read magazines read post on forums and dream of what we want to our rides.
