Not sure if the dyno results are with the truck intake?

452 hp/431 tq 

Pretty high compression for a street engine at 10.75:1 .  Not sure if it would be pump gas friendly?  For sure 92+ or E85.  dunno

I recognize the dyno cell. Might be a guy from TPIS who's selling it.

Looks like a car intake on the dyno. The waterpump could be either, not sure on that style. I would swap to a car intake and injectors, but the truck will net you more power. I think you would be fine on premo or E85, depends on the tune.

Seems like a fairly decent deal because if you were to build this same motor how he did it, it probably would cost you atleast double what he is asking.

If he has the paperwork for it and I had a few more $$ in the account I would buy it.

I've got the aluminum block, but mine is at 11.25:1. I have gone as low as 90 octane and never had any issues, even twisting it to 6900 rpms.

Like Andy says I would go for a car intake, but you'll have to get car accessories which would mean you can't use the water pump and crank pulley. You'll probably have to get a different oil pan and will need a computer and harness. I don't think it's a bad deal but add up the things you need to change and your getting into the range where you can find a F-body pullout.

Stan I agree that is a good deal. You couldn't build it for that. Plus I bet you could get the rest of it locally at A+ auto in Rosemount
