I was just surfing ebay and came across this motor. Any ideas on how much power its capable of putting out? Think its worth the $$$? It looks good even tho its yellow.

if its a 96 5.0 its out of an explorer but doubt it....... besides, having a s/c on a stock intake just aient right, probably factory e7 heads what a waste. dont buy

Total garbage, what is a hipro motor?? LOL. So its a rebuilt Exploder motor that now cant be rebuilt, and its got a hideous pain job. Clearing the valve covers will require an intake spacer which may then hit the hood. He's got over glorified E7 heads at best with a local machine shop rebuild. I hate it when people get something rebuild and they list everything like its got all sorts of hi tech options. Like when you see a mustang in the paper for sale and they say this: 5.0 302 V8 8 cylinder GT Mustang with 5-speed manual stick transmission, Ice cold A/C air conditioning, power everything, and comes with free Pine tree air freshener. Priced to sell. Invested $65,000, will sell for $4000. Baby coming and wife says it has to go. Will possibly trade for snow mobile. This thing is fast!!!!!
Have you guys ever seen that kinda crap before?? Or is it just me.
