The payment method has big red flags all over it.

 

I like the intake on it.....is that custom? And the pyro in the down pipe, man that's genius!!! Some much easier than putting it in the manifold!

I think you should buy it Todd........might even come with a free.......wait for it..........wait for it............YEP...VISE!!!!!!!!

 

I saw that one today lol. I just glanced over it lol. It ruins a truck to jack it up that high.

F-350 3/4 ton... hahahaha!!!!!!

 

LOL!

So I scored a free cast iron stove a couple weeks ago and planned to replace my double barrels in the shop with it as they're a bit overkill. Anyway, my brother wants to put it in his house. So I said, one stove for my vise back!!!! Lol

 

Your a hard nose negotiator Todd!

 

.............That made me laugh

No offense to you and your negotiating skills Todd.....it was just Glenn's delivery on that one.....

 

"Less than 50 miles on 7.3 Power Stroke with banks, super power pack system, with intercooler. Add+120 HP + 256 LB-FT."

I stopped reading after that. lol

A super power pack system that leaves the factory air box?!

On a side note... a guy 30 mins from me has a 97 7.3 engine disassembled and is asking $500.
He says it has everything but the Alternator and the valve cover harnesses because he used them on one of his other trucks.
What do ya think?
He has a backstory which ill spare the details, but long story short can prove it ran and had 150k miles when pulled.

 

What is the definition of "disassembled" here?

 

Top end of the motor taken off (injectors, valve covers, and the heads)
The studs are all removed (he said none broke off).

The bottom end and stuff is all in tact. Oil Pan, cam, pistons, connecting rods. etc etc

He said he got the truck cheap cuz the guy said it was 'locked up'. It turned out to be a bent/broken pushrod (cant recall exactly his description) but he got it running. Then he said "i made the mistake of tearing it down to build a monster...and stopped" lol

 

Comes with the injectors?

 

I wonder what bent/broke the push rod?

 

Comes with everything, but the alternator and valve cover gaskets is my understanding. I would assume most of the seals would be shot tho anyway since injectors were removed, heads taken off. But still... a turbo, HPOP, HPOP reservoir, fuel bowl, injectors, harnesses, idk I hope to look at it in a week.
I asked him if anyone had bitten on it yet he said not really. He had a few calls when it was first posted, but nothing much. If I look at it hopefully I could tell more.

I wanna look up some dimensions for cylinders and such and maybe take some calipers and measure stuff.

IDK just intrigued me cuz any other complete 7.3 ive seen is like 7-900. This one just requires some assembly. lol

 

The cylinder bores (new) are 4.11, but if I bought it, I would rebuild it since it's already torn down. I don't think I would give $500 for it. I bought a complete (except for driver side manifold, valve cover and two injectors) late '95 engine for $200.

 

Hahaha, and he said "I'd rather freeze", right!?

You drive a hard bargain Todd, lol.

 

If Nate hadn't offered his truck to me, Id easily pay $500 for a short block in good shape
