This should have raised a RED flag. I was stupid to not walk away but the fact of seeing it was too much and all the other info and serial number he had that the motor came out of an LTD car. Live and learn..

This is why it took me 6 mos to select a block after I finally made the decision to go with an FE! Just way to many conflicting opinions and #s to digest.
