Bought the car, running great. Drove it 4 hours straight with no issues and only wasted half a tank of gas. The pictures show no justice, car is clean from bottom to top!
The guy got the engine rebuilt at a local shop in San Antonio and they put their own custom heads in.Congrats, did you find out what heads are on it?
Still sounds shady, like they are avoiding saying what they really are.The guy got the engine rebuilt at a local shop in San Antonio and they put their own custom heads in.

I second that... no shop makes "custom heads" for a street build.. They are SOMEONE's heads- either a brand name, a chinese knockoff, or Ford. If they are painted- a magnet will stick to iron heads not aluminum
Good luck on the purchase and post some pics
It was hard at first, but after a couple of drives, I got used to itLooks like a clean car from the outside. Is that hood hard to see out of?
Wow soooo much neglect under that hood and those heads look like they are cast iron IMO. That wiring needs addressed. A little TLC under that hood and a rattle can and the engine bay will look as good as the outside.Here's some pics of the engine
What do you mean by the wiring? And what can I do to the engine? I'm a newbie at this btw. I know it needs to be cleaned, there's so much dirt in the engine that it makes it look like rustWow soooo much neglect under that hood and those heads look like they are cast iron IMO.

The wires going over the driver side strut tower going toward the battery. A few look like they were added and either are butt connected or taped. Peel back the tape and see what's under there and where the wires go too. All connections should be soldered, heat shrinked and then loomed.What do you mean by the wiring?

I still gotta buy all the tools to do any of those things . The wires I can probably do, but the parts I doubt it. I was just gonna save to buy tools and then replace a lot of parts towards the end of this year, and then dyno tune it next spring.The wires going over the driver side strut tower going toward the battery.

Other engine stuff like the intake can easily be removed, sanded, and painted. Valve covers and BBK throttle body polished. It's all fun weekend work while enjoying a beer.
