Looks like a nice stang, though. I'd say he's asking a fair price, but will probably have to sell for around 4500-5000.

452? That's a case of someone adding up all the high-ends of the advertised hp increases. 225 stock + 90hp heads + 40 hp intake+ 30hp for the cam + 20 hp for the headers + yadda yadda yadda = 452hp.

Rule of thumb is, when someone claims their car makes a certain amount of power and it has euro taillights its at least 100 rwhp less then the owner states.

Jasper is a company that rebuilds stock engines (long blocks), you need to send them your old engine for the core charge.

Jasper rebuilds are crap. I had a couple friends work there and showed me some of the things they are allowed to let "slip by". Including cracked cylinder walls w/sleeves and different cylinder bores with sleeves on motors that don't last past the break in period.

I had a buddy who bought a rebuilt 4.6 for his '98 cobra, 2 days after install the number 3 cylinder wall literally disentegrated! So they replaced it....motor number 2 lasted about a week. They offered to replace it again but he opted for a dss motor and after a year and a half the car is still running strong as ever!
