never assymbled means just that. most parts are still in boxes. the most critical information needed was the numbers on the rods. I did not want to take the engine apart to get those numbers. the engine is exactly the way it came from Mayfair Ford, New Jersey in 1966. with much difficulty I was able to get the numbers with the use of mirrors. they are posted far above if you wish to read them. pictures of the motor are in my gallery. It would be nice to read and look before you make assumptions. In my opinion this engine is worth more in it's virgin state, I don't think there is another engine like this available anywhere. sure you can buy shelby's new motor for $ 26,000. but it's not the same. it is the same difference as comparing an original 289 shelby cobra to a new 347 stroker replica\kit cobra, yes the newer cobra is better in many ways, but just not the same. if it's rare, it's worth more money. I have had the engine for a while now, no rush to sell it. I have other toys to play with. my next build will be a 700 cu. in. Pro Street Cobra. the engine should put out about 1500 HP. I still am trying to figure out where I am going to get the nerve to drive it. I want the car to run 7 flat in street trim. there are some street (barely) cars in my area that run those numbers. the word is out in my area that when the car is finished to bring me any chevy you drive on the street.
