Holy Shit!
SO here's the deal...
First, I NEVER Fall into deals. So that makes this all the more exciting!
I'm cruising Craigslist looking for motor parts. And I decide to do a search on Ford 393. And up comes an ad for a town 20 minutes away. It says, "351 Stroker Parts - $1" so I open the ad and what do I find? A COMPLETE set of parts to build a 393 so my first thought is that it's going to cost an arm and leg because the list of parts, and the brands of the parts, tells me there's $6000 worth of stuff there. So I finish reading the ad and it's by a guy who was going to build it for his Bronco and it's a fuel injection set up. So I wondered if he'd part it out since I want to stay carbed and I'll need a different cam because I want overall performance and not just low end torque. So I call him and he tells me if I pop over with $1800 he'll let the WHOLE pile go. So I popped over, looked it all ovfer - it's all new and still in boxes - and I give him $1800. I go back this Friday to finish picking everything up.
I figure I can sell the truck and fuel injection parts and then after selling my current motor I'll be money ahead. Last evening I made a spreadsheet of things I'll need and I'm estimating that after all is said and done, I should have a 393 sitting in my car for less than $1000. I am SO FREAKIN PSYCHED! I'll post some pics after all the parts are here!
