I bought a Flatlander 503 BBF short block. POS!! Came uncrated on a pallet with steel banding. pallet was broken. Deck on one side was damaged from forklift. And to beat all, the trucking company refused to cough up any damages. That engine lasted all of 20 minutes, but not due to anything from Flatlander.

I ended up building another engine from the ground up.

Hi Terry,
I sell many Ford Racing engines. They come new in a Ford crate, freight free delivered to your door in the 48 states. The 460 sells for $5600.00 and the 514 sells for $7400.00. I also sell every related part needed to finish the project.
