I have a SGP built shortblock that I would like to sell.
Price is $1000.
First and foremost, this shortblock has a spun rod bearing.
When I bought my latest Z from a local tt.net member the damage was already done. I don't know if it was due to SGP maybe using a reground crank, etc, etc, oil starvation, or the guy just doing something really stupid.The engine has J&E 89mm pistons, Eagle Rods w. ARP bolts, and ARP head studs.
Other than the developing rod knock, the engine ran and idled great. Since I am anal, I wasn't going to trust the crankshaft. I bought a pristine, unground crank from a local member, so you will get both. I will also throw in a brand new set of OEM head gaskets, and you can have the engine stand it is sitting on too if you want it. This is a great deal for anyone who has a machine shop they trust to rebuild the engine.. the cost of this short block from SGP is $3300 plus a core charge. Now I can't and won't make any guarantees that the block itself is re-usable.. I haven't had the bores checked for out of round etc... but look at it this way, it is a great deal for the price on just the hard parts:
J&E pistons, Eagle Rods, ARP hardware, new crankshaft, OEM headgaskets, and the engine stand..
The block is tossed in for free.. hopefully it will only need a re-hone and you will have yourself one sweet engine for almost nothing. Now I could go have the engine rebuilt, then sell it for a lot more money, but to be honest I don't want the responsibility of selling a rebuilt engine to one of you guys, nor do I feel like hassling and nitpicking with a machinist to make sure they get everything perfect. The price is firm, and no I won't go through the hassle of trying to ship it. This is local pick up only in the DFW area.
Thanks
