Does this seem like a good deal? (Never dealt with D & D before)

[Busted07]

A friend of mine is using his tax return to build a new motor for his car. he sent me this ebay link and asked my opinion. I personally have never dealt with D & D before so im hoping someone can chime in and tell me if this seems like a decent deal or not.

I'd be a little iffy about any company that claims their stock 302 block can hold 700hp.

Edit: Hey, that main support will hold it together. Hold the pieces together after it cracks, that is.

They state that it's a "Ford Motorsport Block" and that it's rated for 700HP as built....

Last time I checked, FRPP no longer carries a production 5.0 bare block.

I'm willing to bet that it IS at least the B50 "Sportsman" 5.0L block due to the price.

I would contact them and find out.

For the love of god tell your friend to go here and be in heaven. This is the season racers rebuild and let stuff go for dirt cheap these guys will take a big hit just to put something towards a new combo

Thats what i told him. There is no way they could claim that on a stock block, but when i read it was a motorsport block, i told him to call them and verify it.

I have the sportsmans block...it wont hold 700 hp thats for sure. I was told that even with a girdle 500ish was pushing it.

I ordered my AFR heads from them, told me I would recieve them in about 3-6 weeks.....try more like 9. And when I finally did get my heads, the head bolt reducers that I ordered with them didn't show up. I called them and they said they were "waiting on the machine shop to make some". So I guess after 9 weeks they didn't have time? Oh and then they arrived a week later...in an Edelbrock box...
