do you know how long the warranty is?

how are you going to buy your engine? you going to go there and place an order or are you going to just order it online?

Thanks..

The warranty is for 12 month-12,000 miles. They have them on ebay all the time. I checked it out and they said it would take 6 weeks and they will send you the dyno sheet, blueprints, and motor or you can pick it up. I live in mid-South Carolina so I would go pick mine up and watch the dyno test and bring that bad boy home.

thats awesome im going to go over the engine with my friend and see what he thinks of the parts, then hopefully, i'll have an order before the end of may....



Best of luck on your engine, I'll probably for with the 427. that one seems sweet...

How much power does that one put down, i didnt look at it...


Chris

....Woah, just re-read the thread. 550 is a sh*t load of horsepower. maybe i can govern it to like 400 for the time being than boost it later on when i get used to the car....is that possible????

Not sure about the de-tune! Watching NASCAR today, maybe a restrictor plate!!LOL! I would let all the "horses" out of the bag. There are some bad street cars out there but there arent too many that have a 550HP motor. You would be lookin at around 400-425 RWHP! mmmmmm.......Lets see, you could buy an old 4 cyl Fox and drop that in and would smoke pretty much every new car on the road today for probably about $8000 compared to thier $27,000-$34,000 car. Ima jump on it!

I'm planning on throwing it in my 67 fastback. It would be a nice replacement for my puny 289.

I guess i could just deal with the power and get used to it. 550 is some serious horsepower.

Thats Awesome. A 67' fastback! Isnt that what Eleanor was? MMM......Eleanor clone. Ive always wanted a 69 f/b. That new Parnelli Jones Saleen is bad-***!

Twister

does it state what level of NA$CAR? For all you know, it could just be a weekly series mechanic, not even an Elite or Grand National Series, let alone Truck, Busch or Cup.....

R1PPED

Yea, hopefully in a few years, i'll have gathered up enough money to make an eleanor clone....that's my goal for this baby. For the time being I might invest in some GT-350 parts. Like the side scoops and the rear spoiler. that would spiff the ride up nice and tight....


I just realized. Nick, you think these engines would be streetable? I think i'll call up or email and check that out....

If you want to know peoples feedback on the engine you should look at the feedback of the seller, and check who he/she sold them to. If you are an ebay memeber, you can email those buyers and be able to ask them how the motor is going as well as the pros / cons and whatever else you like.

It's definately a legit company. I live in Charlotte, and Stanfield (where the company is based) is about 10-15 miles away. I've seen and heard good things from them.

I wouldn't be to skeptical about buying from them, seems to be a good bang for the buck.
