It tells very little about the engine. At that price i coyld biy you several "better" crate engines.

I mean very little real info about the engine..so much so its scary.

Like when those spam drug dealers come on here saying, any pain pill you need. Xanax, Propoxyphene etc
Its like hold up. Zannies arent pain pills and propo was discontinued some 10 years ago

Oh and yea i may know cars, but for the most part i did machine work. Anything about a block and heads etc is all me

i thought the same thing qwizo. it's a twin turbo setup, yet it gives absolutely no info on the size of the turbos, how many mm, etc..
plus the many typos were more than enough to put me off to the page.. you're trying to sell me a $35k engine, at least you can spell check things first, of course, imvho..

I met a guy at the racetrack once that had one of their engines.
He used to have to rebuild it every second pass. Not a tear down but head swaps and gaskets etc.
Those huge engines cost a fortune to keep going.
But going super fast costs a ton regardless.

Im not so sure about that man.
Flooded cars are a real hassle to fix and clean up.a friend of mine bought an m3 years ago that got driven into a river and it took him months to get it back to operating condition and he had to change alot of electronics that cost a crap load and almost all the interior was ruined and needed replacing

A gn has a computer wiring and electronics too tho doesnt it?
And im sure some of those gn parts are rare and really hard to find now.
If the damage wasnt that bad then car dealers would buy up every flooded car and just throw em back out on the road.

I dont think better was the right word.
But for 35k u could certainly buy a much more practical reliable usable engine. People tend to go to nelson when they are looking for ridiculous nowhere near streetable hp.
2000hp sounds sexy but come on seriously lol

ummm...practicality and reliability are usually not associated with engines making over 1000hp but with modern engine management it is possible to build a 1000 plus hp engine that is "streetable" meaning it will run on pump gas and not over heat in traffic.

If I could afford it, it would be good for the economy. But my brain says for the price of two, I could get a good used turning center and build my own. Just a pipe dream for me either way.:lol:
