I am in a position where i am having to sell my project car due to the fact I will have to move a long way for work in the very near future. The car is complete and drivable, and only needs minor work to finish completly. Would much prefer to sell the car complete but may split if I have to.

Breather Box
New 009, tayor leads
Autometer Oil pressure Gauge
Holley Fuel Reg With gauge and speedflow fittings
Weber Fuel Pump
And nearly $400 worth of ARP 12 pt head nuts and washers!!!

Engine Would make around 170 hp and is very streetable.
Currently has 48idas but these are not included in sale. Other than carbs engine is 100% complete and can be test driven by serious buyers. Has hardly been driven but goes HARD! should be good for 12's in the right car.

Moore Mid Mount
New shocks all round

I will consider separating, or keeping certain parts like the shifter tacho etc,
but would prefer to sell as whole unit.

Not interested in separating small stuff out of the car yet. But the tacho was around $300 and the billet mount about $120.

This is cheap! I have almost the same motor and its cost me almost double the asking price for the motor alone. bargain.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

I started it up today again after checking the tappets and it sounded so sweet I didnt want to sell it, but unfortunatly thems the breaks.....

Ill admit i got a good deal on a lot of parts in the engine but turbo54 is correct, to replicate this motor would cost quite a bit, it cost me more than the asking price at any rate, I should add that these are the heads that the yanks say are good for 200hp, so there may be more in the motor if the cam and compression were increased. As It is now the compression is even turbo friendly, due to the fact the CNC machined chambers are so large, I forget the exact comp but its a bit under 8.5:1 It runs a tight deck as well at 055". Camshaft is not massive either. If I kept it a draw through holley turbo setup was next on the list....


I know its cheap but if you want to sell something the price has to be right!
