That thing is bad-***! If that's a **** box, I wanna buy a few of em

I believe your math is off. A iron slant is not light by any means, and if it's a stock slant, it will have about 105 hp.

Yup, shitty move there. Douchebag

Your going to be removing all that stuff

The only experience I have had with BB speedmaster stuff has been the victor knockoffs that use offset rockers. Those are a disaster. I've never used there conventional BB rockers on anything.

I would think it would have sold allready at the asking price if it's legit on the vin numbers

Another thing of concern, the pictures from underneath dont show the torque box areas. Could be lazy picture taking or could be purposely cropped out. Who knows. There are a few other things to verify, to confirm its legit. Buyer beware! It appears to be someone's unfinished project, with "barn...

I think its extremely obvious it's been painted underhood, and underneath, zero question about that. One thing I wondered about, is this area of the pass side inner fender. Was this a 72' up thing? I dont remember seeing that on earlier cars. Probably for the charcoal canister mounting.

The headers will bolt right up to the magnum heads, and the flywheel, bellhousing and all is a direct bolt up as well to the 5.2 magnum

Strip the parts off the 273 and throw the block in the scrap bin. The 5.2 magnum is superior in every way.

That's a $100 core in my opinion. The fact it's been "remanufactured" actually detracts from the value, because it COULD allready be .060 over.

The real issue is those blocks are over 50 years old now, and corrosion inside the water jackets eat away material over time. A sonic check is a great idea, but one small pinhole is easily overlooked even in a sonic test.

Prices look a little steep. I dont know any shop, myself included that charges anywhere near 2 grand to assemble a long block.

Same cam as ALL the other 5.9 magnums.

Gathering all the parts and peices still.

Well, I have since bought a dyno, and am in the process os setting everything up.

A 84 block will likely be cracked too. Any of those blocks from 80-88 are paper thin throw away garbage in my opinion.

It's been a long time since I looked at a bone stock rocker, but if there is a oil hole in the pushrod cup, then yes, that would be sufficient to oil the rocker. The magnum allready has oil through pushrods, so he could even just reuse the magnum cam and lifters also.

A much better too!

Those blocks are garbage. Thread sealer does zero for the clamp load of the cracked hole. Go to your local scrapyard and buy a $300 magnum 5.2. Way better block, you could use your LA heads on it as well

This has been going on since the latest site "update"

I feel like I'm hijacking RAMMs thread, so I'll start one of my own if I decide to enter this contest personally. Carry on!

Indy and W2 are both LEGAL

Part of the problem is I dont really know what the ford and chevy combos will be, so i really dont have a benchmark to compare to. I do know the ford that ran last year wasn't legal, but i believe it was allowed to run because it's the only ford that showed up. It failed on the dyno however, dnf

My concern is how much the rules have changed since then, I want to participate, but it definitely seems like I'd be bringing a knife to a gun fight.

I'm pretty sure W2s are legal. The fuel and oil are stipulated however

Gotcha, no worries, I read up on his build, that was a excellent build

Rules have changed since then. Must be between 400 and 410 cubic inch, and victor heads are not legal anymore due to the fact they dont have a 18° valve angle

Peak was 650ish, dont know the actual numbers
