well not to sound like a smart ass the best deal is me?? you need a core with them guys denny?

I guess they are pretty close to price once you factor in core charge and shipping.The first one I showed says no core charge and free shipping but the price seems to be a little inflated to make up I guess. I am looking for getting a big block for my truck with a little performance ,but would still like to tow a trailer every now and then on 4-5 hour trips.Never had a big block and a little lost.:confused:

I just said he might want to check them out. I would think he would want you to build him one, but, he did ask if it was a good deal or not.

The warranty sounds ok to me. :LOL: :LOL:

yes so i buy one and drag race it :cool: ok just stock use no Nos and hey i was going down the road going to church and the crank fell out and the rods exited the pan?????:confused: still get the warranty hey church is just a 1/4 mile down the road and just have one light in town. leave on the last yellow**) **) **)

well not every one is going to do what i said but i build them in a way that they can take it and you get no warranty from me.i have seen to many things that some people will do to a engine or there kids or friends let them drive there car? i would like to see if there warranty holes to the acid test they say there give you one?? BUT i tell every one stock or HI that it will hold oil run and do the job and if some thing happens i look at it and see what i will do for them at that point ? have sold engine on e-bay no phone calls

really all BS to the side if that is all you want i can do better with better heads 049 and a TQ roller cam which you must run a electric fuel pump NO core needed. i have a stock bore 454 mild 70s block that has not been hurt that would go .030 on bore and .010 mains /.010 rods all top line parts .sorry if this pisoff any one on hear i need the work if any one want a good big block built and machine by me

send me some prices
