You lucky DAWG you!!!!!!

I feel bad for the guy but you SCOOOOORRREEEDDD!!!!:woot: :cheers: :thumbsup:

John

pulled the pan and all the lower end looks all forged except the rods with I thought were aluminum but turns out to be titanium!
the guy raced drag cars on weekends .
windage tray and scraper under the pan aswell.
Ok whats a conservative ballpark figure for horsepower and torque for this motor?
pistons are flat tops btw. (borescoped the sparkplug holes)

Depending on cam, but I would guess ~440hp. 1hp + per cubic inch comes easy these days.

$500?

Titanium rods? Hell yea.. that got got screwed..

Oh well, your gain.. nice score! :thumbsup:

sweet deal. I bet that guy is pissed.:lol:

Nice find. Congrats!

I'll give 'ya $700... :D

Congrats on a steal!

Im trying to ID the heads and intake
its a victor intake
brodix heads where do i find the numbers?
I see some on the end of the head 109 stamped
also found another number on the heads
M709

after installing a stud girdle for the rockers and got a set of billet valve covers I decided to throw on a fresh coat of POR 15 engine paint.
the intake will be bead blasted next week.

Sorry, but I have been on the other side of one of these deals. My ex got a 71 442. 455/4speed/ac etc. convert. Then the dumbass sold it for $5000!!!!!!!!!!

I guess this thread just brings back bad memories. Maybe the thing to do would be call the previous owner and see if he wanted it back for $500. :thumbsup:

Always remember this, what goes around, comes around.......

I really don't mean to rain on your parade, it is just I have been there, know the feeling.

im sure if the guy wanted it he would have said so in the settlement.
he just took his clothes and cars with tools and left.
I talked to the guy today he said its better i got it than some idiot that dont know what he got .
plus he laughed when I told him I got the motor off his wife for 500 bucks.
So everything is cool.
Turns out we went to high school together and used to hang out a long while back.

Cool, now I feel better, congrats on the find.:thumbsup:

I much agree Bill, Mine did it to, just to spite me Very cool monte ss from AZ gm proving grounds given to me for some stuff I had done sold it to the guy next door for 1000.00

well he found the dyno slip for me and im astounded that the motor did 675HP
687 ftlb of torque?

HUH??!! :omg:

Dawg.........YOU DOG!!!!
