searchin around on craigslist and found this....

"88 mustang block alighn honed bored .30 over, decked,stock cranck 10 under dipped in nitrate arp main studs, stock rods reconditioned arp bolts, speed pro forged pistons,frp oil pump, roller timing chain, 93 cobra cam, stock heads, crane roller rockers 1.6, ported cobra intake,upper and lower, ford racing ceramic coated stainless headers shorty's under drive pulleys, about 7k miles"

a buddy of mine who does all the work on my car says its a pretty good deal... if its still in the car, its even better because atleast we can see how it runs/sounds... if its out of the car, its a 50/50 shot more or less... what do u guys think? worth it?

mind you of one of my last post, i still plan on running the TFS kit... i think jsut goin with the 306 block might have an advantage...

$800 i think... I saw that same ad today...

If the bottom end is what he says it is you could always sell the heads & intake and recoup half of the $$....

800.00 for that would be like stealing it....Don't think you could go wrong for that price.
