Commissioning a Turn Key ERA 427 Cobra

Sounds good from what I can tell from the videos, especially the idle. Sound quality doesn't do it justice sometimes, though.

Yep, good speakers , not normal computer one's, are needed to hear every engine.

I have like 9 different vids to listen to. Just follow them on my page.

Maybe it's you location, like housing costs, but many GOOD,........428's here in the midwest sell for under 6k.

"lacking a lot of key components; components that will add up very quickly: carbs, harmonic balancer, fuel pump, distributor cap, plug wires, pulleys, brackets, air cleaner, etc, etc."

Do you sell yours with all these extra components for the 11-12k ?
Not unless it's a RTR crate engine,....right ?

"I was wearing high fidelity headphones. I think setting the camera on the seat wasn't helping matters any, and the part with the car idling in the garage just didn't make sense to me, with the sound echoing off those freshly finished walls. Editing would definitely help; my Mac came with free software that makes that possible."

Like I said, I made the vids for the buyer,... of my 428, so he could hear the engine start cold, not prewarmed like many people would do,....warm up on the driveway, putt around a few blocks, on the highway and getting on the go pedal a little, so that he could hear exactly what he was getting, with out editing.

He was very appriciating for my doing so, and I was honest.

Good idea. I believe ERA has various engines at times to sell. You'll know you'll get a good motor from them.
