Default Hey Jay...Did You Get Your Engine?

Saw a post that your engine was on it's way to Dallas a week ago and wondering if you took delivery?

I agree as the list of his components was impressive. Lots of good choices for cars for you to stick it in....will be fun watching this one come together!!!
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________________________

Copied From His Original For Sale Ad Post;

This engine was built by Tony Carey on Long Island, NY. It has never installed in a car. It's fresh, incredibly powerful and ready to go. I spared absolutely no expense in building this engine, it truly does have the best of everything on it and in it. Tony photo documented the entire build. That would be available to any potential buyer. Tony has been building almost exclusively FE's for 40 years, he's the FE guru here in the NY area. He's a preferred engine builder for ERA Cobras as well. Some of the guys here on the forum who have been around a while are familiar with him. ERA is very familiar with him as well. If you're waiting on that ERA, Kirkham, Shelby, Hurricane, SPF, or whatever brand you chose Cobra or GT40 to be delivered, this is your engine!

Brand new Genesis aluminum sideoiler block - fully machined, torque plates, line bored, etc....
Eagle stroker crank
Eagle H beam rods, upgraded ARP bolts
Diamond forged custom made pistons, 10.5:1 compression ratio
Aviaid Cobra oil pan and windage tray
Custom stock looking dipstick and tube
Melling blueprinted HV oil pump

Edelbrock aluminum water pump - Edelbrock name milled off and media blasted, looks perfect
Remote oil filter mount and kit installed, steel braided lines
Full roller timing chain
Stainless engine bolt kit

All machine work and assembly on heads meticulously done by Keith Craft Racing
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, port matched to heads by Keith Craft racing
"Edelbrock" and "Performer RPM" milled off of intake and media blasted, looks perfect as if never there
Quick Fuel custom built carb, 950 CFM, equipped with new LeMans bowls
Custom built 1x4 fuel log
MSD distributor custom curved by Keith Craft Racing
New MSD ignition wires, black with all printing on wires removed
Distributor gear matched to cam by Keith Craft Racing
Harland Sharp bushed rockers, H. Sharp shafts and H. Sharp end stands
ARP head bolts
Smiths pushrods
Chrome pentroof valve covers with breathers, PCV valve in rear of intake
Acton Custom removable top turkey pan


There was lots of custom work done on this engine to give it a very original looking flavor. I would never sell it except I am now facing very serious health issues and can no longer proceed forward with the project as planned. The engine is currently at Tony's shop on Long Island, NY. Again, it's fresh, never installed, and is has never left his shop.

This engine was not dynoed, but Keith Craft, who supplied most of the engine parts, builds this combo often and he informed me back at purchase time that with the combo of parts that he sold me it routinely dynos over 620HP.

I lost track as I shot past the $22,000 mark of how much I have sunk into this engine, it's actually well north of that. The parts alone can't be bought for my asking price for the entire engine

Jay,

I will bring you a pickup load of Scotch to San Marcos if you let me put it in Hurricane. I'll even help you drink it.

Jim
