please don't bid against me

[FloridaGrabber]

Just found a nice engine on Ebay.
I am current high bidder (.01), hope no one else wants this one.
Think I have a good shot at it

Nice engine, I'll give you double your money for it...LOL

The crank in that thing is worth several times over what I paid for my 93. Holy **** when you put things into perspective.

I don't think you'd win if the reserve isn't met

You are ruining my dream build

[black1980fiveoh]

I wonder what the reserve is. A ford 440 is a stroked 390 or ?

[FloridaGrabber]

Tall deck 351w

With a 4.125 bore x 4.125 stroke that thing is probaby a torque monster

This one is apparently a 351w based block with Cleveland based heads.

EDIT: JP tree'd me

DUAL QUADS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i truely hope you get it dude

but your not for a penny -_-

[mmb617]

I kind of doubt you're going to get that for $500. LOL

I don't believe you could get it for $5,000.

I don't even think $10,000 would be enough.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000 you might be getting closer.

I'll have to put it on my watch list just to see if it sells and for how much.

[83GTRAG]

Its a penny plus $5000 shipping anywhere in the US.

Cleveland based heads??? Yates heads have been around FOREVER. They are arse expensive. Guy that lives down the road from me has been using them for like 20 years on his race car, also a 351W block. They are like the gold standard for hi-po Ford heads.

Didn't somebody on here tell me that guy is a crook? I was looking for 87-93 11" brakes. Same junkyard or am I thinking of someone else??

Anyway, good luck, but I bet that reserve is higher than giraffe p*ssy

[83GTRAG]

according to eBay his record is spotless

[79Coupe]

yes, but eBay has changed. That's not a lifetime rating anymore, it rolls over now. I've had negative feedback on me (raw deal - never sell for friend of friends) but my eBay rating is 100% positive.

[FloridaGrabber]

I have been out bid !

Going to be interesting to see what it brings, too bad there is no sound clip posted.

Yes, but they are derived from Cleveland heads, no?

[MurPHy]

Yes, but they are derived from Cleveland heads, no?

Yes. So are most all cylinder heads run in NASCAR these days...Ford and Chevy alike....

[79Coupe]

True, in the respect that the valve layout is similar, but there are major differences in the coolant passages and intake/exhaust runner design, if memory serves.

You could liken it to saying most modern cylinder head designs are based on the "Hemi" heads first used by Chrysler on the 352 Hemi. (I know "Hemi" heads existed before, but Chrysler made them famous)
