Is it the crate 514 with 625 HP or the bit lower HP version ?

Get a block from Brent when they arrive. Get an intake from Brent. get some heads and a camshaft from Blykins. Get valve covers and spark plugs and pullies and wires and a carb etc from him also. Let him build you a motor and be done with it. He is a premier engine builder.

I may get a block and parts from him, but we will assemble the engine ourselves to save money. My friend Chad is a very good engine builder, so I'm not worried. He build a lot of race engines including ours and other teams sprint car engines.

Or maybe a short block FE put together by him, then you take care of the top end yourself. That's probably doable.

Yes, I agree. Much faster that way and I completely trust Brent.

I just received two phone calls from members here on CC. One guy has several bock's and parts.

First guy for some reason won't write down all he has, and my memory sucks, so here's some of what I was able to write down. I don't know much details.

427- side oiler block for $4,000.
428- $2,500
Shelby FE-$6,500
390 HD bored & stroked to almost 427 for $2,500

The other member has two NOS side oilers, and lots of parts, but he had to leave the conversation, so I hope he gets back to me later.

Just because they're a member here doesn't mean you can trust them. Remember, in this hobby, assume the other guy is a crook until proven otherwise. Post their names, and what they want to sell and for how much, and we'll tell you whether your rose colored glasses are distorting your vision.

If he has blocks they are gold right now. Nobody has them.

Truly BUMMEND guys.

My 1/4 scale RC Sprint Car sold, but this afternoon the buyer backed out.

This is what she said.

"New message from: cosmo00015

Could I ask a favor. I won the bid for your sprint car but my friend that we all was chipping in to buy this car for passed away late Saturday night. We have No use for it now. I m sooooo sorry it is a Very Nice Car. He saw this car when you first put it on YouTube and was shocked to see it on eBay. We all was going to surprise him for his 54 birthday but now everyone freaking out. Let Me Know. Sorry

END-

The money was going for part of a block. But I understand her situation. I may ask her to only pay my Ebay listing bill.

Anyway, back to selling it.
