351W experience

[Lou1119]

I purchased an SPF about 3 months ago from a scam artist. He implied that he was the original owner but after taking delivery and reading the owner's manual I noticed that the original owner's name was covered with white out and it was not the person who sold me the car. He also gave me an appraisal conducted in 2003 which stated that the car was built by Top of the Hill in Livermore,CA.
Moving on, the car would turn over but not start so I contacted a tech who had worked on my cars in the past. After looking at the motor we pulled the MSD distributor only to find that the gears on the distributor were all chewed up in varying degrees. In addition the gears on the cam are also chewed up.
I contacted the seller several times to find out who built the motor but you probably guessed it --- he won't respond to phone calls or emails. We contacted Top of the Hill who said they did not build the car but had worked on it for the original owner ( not the scum bag who sold me the car).
Before we move forward I would like to know member's experience with a 351W that has been bored and stroked to 427 ci. That is what the flim flam man stated as to the size of the motor. However I am skeptical about anything this guy said.

Thanks,
Lou
