. She has a 400 with a C6 tranny. She runs and drives great but she has bad truck cancer almost everywhere =/. Here is the craigslist post i have on her: Thanks for looking

I have taken this truck off the market.
complete carb to pan. TFS A heads, custom solid roller cam, 13.4:1 compression with custom J&E pistons. Eagle rods, TFS single plane intake and BG king demon 1190 carb.
Block was filled to the water pump holes with hardblok, has a main stud girdle and ARP head studs and main bolts.
rotating assembly was internally balanced.
Also a new set of schoenfeld upright headers.
Bad side, it's been sitting pretty much since I sold it. was only ran 3 race days before he wrecked the truck he put it in. So about 6yrs? he didn't back the valves off so it needs new springs (I wouldn't run it without new springs anyway as on heavy solid roller cams, springs are a consumable item) And probably should just be gone thru with new bearings and rings which I usually did every year anyway. It does still run as he started it on occasion.
Most of you know what this engine is but I can answer questions for you if you want to know and my memory doesn't fail me.
Deal here is, he wrecked the samari he put it in, ended up putting it back into the ranger (which he will also sell as a rolling chassis) and never got around to getting things running. He works construction so busy in the summer and just never got a chance to run it again (personally I think it scared him) BUT now he is going thru a divorce, wifey filed back in Sept and when I ran into him, he asked if I could try and find a buyer, so here it is.
I asked for a price and he really honestly didn't know what to ask so said make an offer. Remember the heads alone are $2500+ and are ported as well as the FRPP roller rockers and jomar stud girdles.
Just so you know I had almost $15k into this motor.
He would be willing to part out the ignition and fuel system from teh truck too AFTER the motor sells or for the right deal it can go with the motor.
Topper off of an 89 f-250 longbox, this is a Glasstite topper, will fit 87-96 longbox. High-Rise topper, blue and silver, extended rear door (replaces tailgate), with camper door. Rear also clamshells open for full access to the back. Slider door in front.
$250 obo, will deliver within about an hour of Oskaloosa, IA, possibly farther for some of the fuel cost.
Will also consider trades for truck accessories/parts.

Yes it is, but it's from a '95, so I think only the '87 to '96 trucks have compatible latches.
