Nope. I don't ever like buying someone elses project... it's very rare you get lucky with it. There have been a couple of guys on the board that have.. but most times it doesn't turn out well...

Question though: How long has the car had the blower on it.... how much peak hp and boost is he running?

The best way to make sure it's a real SVT.. is to get the vin# and call 800.FORD SVT and ask them.

450 is around the limit. The crank is good, rods and pistons, not so much.
