    Found this forsale in my area. But before I even consider buying it, I wanted opinions from you guys on here about it before I blow the money for it.
    engine:
    its a brand new 347 short block, brand new pro-comp 210cc aluminum heads, brand new comp cams xe cam shaft(about .540 lift, says he has cam card), new push rods, new timing chain, new full 1.6 roller rockers, new valve covers, assembled with timing cover, water pump and oil pan. also available is a fully ported 93 cobra intake that is set up for this engine. it is also polished on the outside. And offering efi intake with engine for a package deal if I want it.

    sorry I just copied and posted what the guy said. Sent an email, says all the crank, pistons, and rods are forged. 5.0 iron block bored .030 over. Flat top pistons to accept the 210cc heads. 10.5:1 compression. Waiting for him to call me back on brand name and specifics on the crank,pistons, and rods. 2500 is his asking price.

    A bit low for a quality all forged logblock.Those heads dont get the best rap.Valves dropping etc.Some seem fine though but..I

    I would be wary of that price.Post when you get more specefics.

    Alright I talked to him today. Says that the piston's,crank, rods are Mahle flatops with 10:1 compression. All hte internals are forged and he says the whole 347 longblock is brand new, zero miles. Also offered to throw in used but good condtition longtubes with the engine. Says he's busy with work at the shop but he's going to send me some pictures of it via email when he's not so busy.
