Nope, I wish it would be.

I'm doing this build using sponsorships, like I do with the sprint car racing. I have several manufactures for parts already but, the cost of the aluminum block is the stalemate for now. I will have to sell the engine I have now before the KC aluminum 482 cu. build can happen.

I've talked to Keith several times about this engine, and we're shooting for a solid mechanical roller and apx. 600-650 HP/TQ, on pump gas.

I have 3 magazines very interested in this Keith Craft, "old school 60's version side oiler and the newer "all aluminum side oiler". It will be about the differences between the 2010 technology with the blocks, heads, rotating assembly, machining advances, parts and even the engine & chassis dyno's.

Photo's and video will be taken about the block, brand of parts and during assembly, to both explanations of the engine and chassis dyno statistics.
All of this build process and information, will also be on some websites, including "YouTube".

Stay tuned.

Here's another with my new stainless side pipes I'm making.

Both are pretty low RPM's and nothing special. I made these to help sell the engine. I plan on some better videos this spring. I made a camcorder roll bar mount out of a aluminum Mickey Thompson big block connecting rod.

Well, I'm getting too excited about the 482 build and I need to sell my 428 FE before the build can start. (says the wifey) I believe it's worth the 7k I'm asking as it sits today, I have over 10 k invested. I will consider any serious offers. It's almost ready to run guys and it looks & runs great.

Look over the part list (1st post) photo's,video's and contact me for any questions.

Send me a PM or email for my phone number.

It will remain in the car until it's sold. (gotta drive it)






The valve covers now are Chrome "Pent Roof's"


Video's- (neither are high rpm, just for fun)

Although I believe it's worth every penny that I'm asking, I will consider any serious offers. It will be almost ready to run. I really need to sell it, because I can't build my "dream engine" until it does.

Is there any doubt that this motor is not worth 7k, or are times harder than I think ?
Somebody will buy a great looking & running engine for the price. It has won 4-"Best Engine" trophy's, and those were big shows, not some church parking show with limited cars. lol
On the "Hot Rod Power Tour" in KC, the car won "Best Ford Muscle". That was cool.

To the buyer, I will guarantee it runs as good as it does now in my cobra. I will also shoot a video of it running before I remove it. I'm as honest as possible about this great engine to sell it. If you have any questions, please ask.

I need some help guys.
Kev

I'm now offering a $250 "finders fee", if you find a buyer.
