The warranty is for 12 month-12,000 miles. They have them on ebay all the time. I checked it out and they said it would take 6 weeks and they will send you the dyno sheet, blueprints, and motor or you can pick it up. I live in mid-South Carolina so I would go pick mine up and watch the dyno test and bring that bad boy home.

thats awesome im going to go over the engine with my friend and see what he thinks of the parts, then hopefully, i'll have an order before the end of may....
Best of luck on your engine, I'll probably for with the 427. that one seems sweet...
How much power does that one put down, i didnt look at it...
Chris
....Woah, just re-read the thread. 550 is a sh*t load of horsepower. maybe i can govern it to like 400 for the time being than boost it later on when i get used to the car....is that possible????

Not sure about the de-tune! Watching NASCAR today, maybe a restrictor plate!!LOL! I would let all the "horses" out of the bag. There are some bad street cars out there but there arent too many that have a 550HP motor. You would be lookin at around 400-425 RWHP! mmmmmm.......Lets see, you could buy an old 4 cyl Fox and drop that in and would smoke pretty much every new car on the road today for probably about $8000 compared to thier $27,000-$34,000 car. Ima jump on it!
Thats Awesome. A 67' fastback! Isnt that what Eleanor was? MMM......Eleanor clone. Ive always wanted a 69 f/b. That new Parnelli Jones Saleen is bad-ass!
does it state what level of NA$CAR? For all you know, it could just be a weekly series mechanic, not even an Elite or Grand National Series, let alone Truck, Busch or Cup.....

Yea, hopefully in a few years, i'll have gathered up enough money to make an eleanor clone....that's my goal for this baby. For the time being I might invest in some GT-350 parts. Like the side scoops and the rear spoiler. that would spiff the ride up nice and tight....
I just realized. Nick, you think these engines would be streetable? I think i'll call up or email and check that out....
If you want to know peoples feedback on the engine you should look at the feedback of the seller, and check who he/she sold them to. If you are an ebay memeber, you can email those buyers and be able to ask them how the motor is going as well as the pros / cons and whatever else you like.

It's definately a legit company. I live in Charlotte, and Stanfield (where the company is based) is about 10-15 miles away. I've seen and heard good things from them.
I wouldn't be to skeptical about buying from them, seems to be a good bang for the buck.
As for the questions earlier about what level of NASCAR. They build alot of Busch Series engines as well as Craftsman Truck motors. The motors they are selling are STEETABLE engines that run on pump gas and have a warranty of 12months-12,000 miles.
Also, as for the question about 427 or 347?
Depends on your application. For a street car that is going to see normal driving duty, Definately the 347. It comes with 400HP which is more than enough for the street. Now for a car that will be a "weekend warrior" or the "grocery getter" then I say get the 427! I can think of two things that would just be awesome to own with a 427 and that is a Cobra kit car or a '67 Fastback Eleanor clone!
I appreciate all of the interest this has gotten! I figured most would be intrigued by this since its been right under our noses on Ebay!

I think i might go with the 427, i'm going to ask my father and if he gives me his blessing than i will go with the monster. but if he thinks otherwise, i'm not upset with the 347 at all.
Keep in mind the more you stroke a motor the shorter it's lifespan will be. I would go with a 331 or 408 stroker they have a lot less side loading on the pistons and can make just as much power.
Dude, go 427. Trust me, as soon as you feel 400 HP you will wish you had more, and if you can afford both, you would be CRAZY to go with the smaller engine.

+1 427, suspension, gears, and slicks = 6.50-7.0's in the 1/8 mile!!!!!!
we'll see where the wind blows me on the engine....
Thanks Nick
