Custom built Ford 400 engine

Category: Engine - Complete Motors
Price: $5000
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): Prelude
Item Condition: ID
Engine: Part suitable for gas truck

I have a Ford 400 engine custom built by Pat Bratton of Moffitt and Bratton Racing Engines of Boise, Idaho. The block is a truck block with reinforced main webs. The engine has been bored .030" over and stroked with a 4.250" stroked crankshaft making it 434 cu in. The engine has been blueprinted and balanced with all of the documentation. I have over $13,000 invested in it and now I need to sell it. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY!! I am asking $5,000 obo. This is what the engine has:

Ford 400 truck block with reinforced main webs bored .030" over.
4.250" stroked crankshaft from Tim Meyer INC.
4- bolt main caps
Custom Kevco Racing oil pan for the over sized crankshaft
Keith Black Piston - 10.3:1 CR
6.657 inch rods
new timing chain
CHI 2V aluminum heads 62.6 CC custom built with Ferrera valves
Comp Cams custom ground roller cam
Comp Cams roller rockers
MSD Pro billet distributor
Weiand 8010 intake manifold
Weiand water pump
New polished aluminum high clearance valve covers
New Holley Truck Avenger carburetor 770 CFM
Block heater

The engine is estimated to put out 450 hp and 560 ft lbs torque. This is a unique motor that would be great in a truck/ offroad vehicle or even an old hot rod. It is ready to put into a vehicle or taken to the dyno.

Wow!! Im wishing I wasn't so broke right now. That engine looks so slick. My 400 in my 79 looks like someone took a dump in the engine bay and added wires. That thing looks amazing! I would make an offer but I don't want to offend you or embarrass myself.
