welcome!
how sure are you of the engine specs? have you seen a build sheet and a dyno printout?
sounds like a stout setup ... what is he asking for it?
400 hp for a naturally aspirated 306 is not easily achieved. is there a blower somewhere in that list?
50k miles is low for a 95, and 6k on the engine is also low. those things would increase the value, if you know them to be true.

wtf: I just made a post but I guess i forgot to hit the post button.
well here it is for the second time...
there is no way the car is making 400hp with that combo. that combo would be good for about 280rwhp. like said above the only way that combo would be making 400hp is if it has a power adder. with that said if the guy is lying about the power output he could be lying about the A4 block and other stuff as well. find out some more on the car. ask the guy if it is naturally aspirated or if it has a power adder and if he tells you its Naturally aspirated and making that power he is either lying or misinformed. and who knows what else he is lying/misinformed about.
btw: welcome to stangnet, its a good place to learn and a pretty good bunch of guys and gals.

wow- big list of good parts. hard to say what you should give for it. as a general rule tho, its almost always cheaper to buy a car already "done" rather than to build one. however, if you dont know where the work was done or if it didnt come from a reputable person/place.....use caution.
im having a 306 done myself for my 95. the person doing this is a HIGHLY trusted, very reputable mechanic. that fact alone eases my mind but its getting pricey....just for a 306 (parts wise).
something else- receipts are always good. he have any?

10k...sounds pretty reasonable for the parts and the low mileage. make sure it doesnt have a rebuilt title, some people tend to leave that minor detail out.
400hp out of a NA 306 does sound a little opitimisitc. not saying it cant be done, it would just be a heck of a achievement. especially if thats rwhp.
still tho, even if the car makes 300 rwhp and has 50k miles and is that clean with receipts.....i guarantee he has well over 10k in it.

and I'm going to say it is impossible with a B cam. I'd be damn impressed if it makes more than 300rwhp with that cam and intake.
with that said if the car does actually have all the mods listed and it was built right it is a pretty good deal just for the A4 block alone. I know I would feel much safer with that foundation once my turbo goes on!
the more info you can provide us with the more we can provide you with.

thanks!fiveoho said:
i didn't want to raise the
flag, but the more i think about it, the more fishy it gets. if he really had a 400 hp engine in there with only 6000 miles on it, the engine itself would be worth at least $7000, so $10000 for the car with that engine and everything else listed just doesn't add up.for grins, ask him what size injectors it has.

24# injectors can't support 400hp. they are more typical of a 300hp setup. stock 94/95 cobras have 24# injectors.db=dave=06 said:

maybe he meant 400hp to the crank? that would roughly come down to about 330-340 to the wheels. which is more believable. if it has the a4 block i say jump on it. with that motor all you need is a big blower or turbo and you will be set!
