The OFFICIAL BARRY BLEW HIS MOTOR FUND

Someone's going to have to swipe Barry's car so we put a new short block in it, just watch how he pisses and moans about not taking charity. I'm in. :D
 
Hmm. Maybe I should think about this more, but I have a 'ready to go' 5.0 shortblock sitting in a crate. I was going to wait till the fall to put it in as my motor is fine and I don't need more expenses. However, if its any kind of deal, I'd be willing to volunteer the (existing) shortblock for the cost of swapping in my new big-bore. Assuming a short block is all he needs. Actually, I have the factory valvetrain which I could throw in if need be.
Just an offer. Maybe it isn't a good one, though, so let me know.

Ive already discussed with Barry to do the teardown,If he so chooses to see what exactly he will need to do! See what happens then.
 
All we need to get is a shortblock which will run about $3500.

If the rod stretched, the valve(s) might be bent.

If I was Barry, i would try and get a new set of heads out of Ford because they were ticking. Its hopeless to get the engine, just go for the heads!

You were interested in the trans that's selling on EBay, why not go in halves, you get the trans and Berry gets the motor?

Cause he doesn't want this to happen again with a stock motor.

No worries, you'll blow YOURS up soon enough as well!
 
My off3er of the shortblock and full valvetrain is still on the table as well. It would only be about $1500.00 Just thought I'd mention it. I could also get it to the border if someone wanted to pick it up.

Unfortunantly Zack is right the internals are not strong enough,One of Fords not so bright ideas,Who knows why.
 
Forged pistons and rods on the stock block and crank are, allegedly, still up to the challenge for about 700hp.
