this short block includes ARP Rod bolts,.....and pistons, rods, crank im guessing too? im very interested but i think the shipping may be a little steep for me

 

Yes, complete stock shortblock (rods, pistons, crank, etc). You will need a new crank/oil pump drive sprocket (we had to swap it over to my new shortblock).

It would be difficult to ship for me too, possibly pad it up and send it Yellow freight banded to a pallet (that's how my new shortblock came) ? I'd have to see, I guess I would have to guess the weight and call Yellow Freight to get an estimate ? Shipping is such a PITA, heh - but I guess it could be done...

Rob (Bad30th)

 

Yeah, shipping would be around the 200 range for sure. My question is now what is wrong with this block to force you to get another? how many miles and has any work been done on it? were there any internal mods?

 

I have been shopping around for a forged motor for a while and just got a screaming deal on the W2W shortblock.

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with the stock shortblock I'm selling, it was holding up just fine and running strong when we took it out. No internal mods other than the ARP rod bolts.

This was my second motor and has been in my car since 2002 and I put about 25k miles on it, it ran fine just last week when it was pulled out for the swap to the forged shortblock. (For the record, my factory motor had the oil pump fail back in 2002 and took out the bottom end so I swapped over to this stock shortblock due to no funds to go forged at the time). Since then with that motor I made a grand total of 4 trips to the track. It had frequent oil changes and was well taken care of. The crosshatch is still visible in the cylinders.

I will try to get some pics up.

Rob (Bad30th)

 

Ok pics would be great, so you bought a brand new stock shortblock when yours factory block went out due to oil pump problems & spun a bearing im geussin?

 

Yup, although it was more than a spun bearing on the original/factory motor, #6 wrist pin took a dump and the rod/piston scarred up the #6 cylinder wall real bad, heh.

The car has run strong since then on the second shortblock that's for sale, it was well taken care of.

Rob (Bad30th)

 

Alright, yeah my #6 cylinder wall is pretty bad as well, broke off a valve in the piston and sucked the spark plug through the hole the valve put in the piston. So whenever you get pics just PM me or somethin.

 

TTT, buyer for head studs backed out.

Rob (Bad30th)

 

Radiator, head studs and tranny cooler are sold, still have the shortblock and oil pump.

Thanks guys.

Cheers,

I'll take the ac compressor. LMK when u get it out.

 

I am interested in the shortblock and I am not too far from you. Pics?

 

It's out of the car already, $80 shipped ? Someone else is asking about it too, first one to send me the funds gets it...

Thanks,
Rob (Bad30th)

 

PM'ing you...

Rob (Bad30th)

 

Interested in short block also.

 

pm sent

 

Lots of "interested"s but I still have the shortblock for sale...

To clear up any confusion the shortblock was installed new by AAP in 2002 in my car, and then pulled back out in 2004 for ARP rod bolts and overall inpection by Don Lee Auto.

There are pics of the "engine refresh" at Don Lee Auto on my Cardomain website, page 4.
