I bought this motor a couple months ago. Got a pretty good deal. It's a flat tappet block, bored .030 over, 5.0 crank and rods (50oz, machined) Speed-pro pistons -2cc forged, speedpro rings and berrings. I am running TFS heads. What worries me is that it has stock hardware, suposed to be new ford, but I wanted at least some ARP on the rod bolts. A tiny bit of surface rust on the cylinder wall, machined but still has an orange tint to it. Flat tappit, I wanted roller. Plus, I didn't build it myself. Should I just go with it or sell so I can build a better one?
