I am just about to start building up the 302 HO motor for my Maverick, but I came across this ad and it got me wondering if it would be easier and cheaper to buy this instead. If I overhaul the 5.0 I already have, I will have to buy a new cam, heads, intake, carb, pan, and all of the misc accessories. 3K OBO is a tempting offer. What do you guys think? ******************************************************* The motor has ZERO miles on, just some time on a run stand. Completely assembled with all Ford Racing parts. The list of parts goes something like this: M-6009-A342: -342 ci short block same as 347 just not .03" over -2 bolt sportsman block (M-6010-B50) -Hypereutectic pistons w/ 6.5cc valve relief -3.400" nodular iron stroker crank -4130 Forged rods (M-6200-D50) -Federal Mogul rod, main, and cam bearings -Balanced for 28.8 oz dampner The short block alone retails for $2400-$2600 through various vendors M-9424-D302: -single plane "victor jr" intake -3500-8500 rpm range retails for $275 through Ford Racing M-6049-X302: -GT40 style aluminum cyl. heads -1.94 int/ 1.54 exh stainless valves -64cc chambers -ARP headbolts retails for $1400 an assembled pair M-6564-B351: -1.6 ratio aluminum full roller rocker arms retails for $330 a set M-6582-R302: -Aluminum Ford Racing valve covers retails for $270 through Ford Racing M-6316-F351: -Nuetral Balance dampner -meets SFI 18-1 specs -recommended for race use only retails for $210 through SDPC M-6059-D351: -Standard timing chain cover retails for $126 through Ford Racing M-8501-G351: -Standard flow water pump - good to 6000 rpm retails for $62 through Ford Racing M-6268-B302: -Double roller timing chain cover retails for $99 through Ford Racing MSD distributor: -PN 882 -needs MSD cap(missing) -for use with MSD box retails for $227 through Jegs Has a Fox body oil pan with screw-in type dipstick hole, needs oil pan gasket. If you have any questions on any of the parts please look up the part # before asking any questions, that will save us both alot of time. Other than that if there's any questions please ask. Price is $3000 but is negotiable to a point. ALL of the parts are NEW!!!
Cant rebuild yours to these standards for the asking price. I am always leary about something somebody else has built. You will have to change oil pan and pick up tube on it.
Good price, but something doesn't make sense. The ad says the crank is balanced for a 28 oz damper, which is normal for a stroker, but then says the damper is 0 balance. The only other thing is I'm not a big fan of hyper pistons but as long as you don't plan on using a power adder later it's not a concern.
I'll save you alot of money! Just look at my thread in the for sale section! http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=58543
It seems like a pretty good deal but I would have to hear it run and have an oil pressure guage hooked up before I would pay that much
You get what you pay for! So look out. I personally would build what you got. That way you know what you have, and you know that it is done right. I just say this cause I have been burnt to many times with buying engines. If if comes with a warranty then do it. But be advised. Just a caution for you.
