$800 401 Standard Bore

[Wagoneer Taylor]

Hey somebody should scoop this up! Even if it has more issues this is a crazy deal!

If I had not bought a house just now, I would buy this a second engine for a future project!

Wow! Still available! Seems like a great deal!

I have been trying to ignore that listing! While theoretically cool, it's hard to justify a 401 in boxes when the 360 runs well and doesn't get worked that hard in the first place.

If I were close enough to pick it up, I would buy it and put the block on Ebay, then the crank, then the rods, then the rest of it would get parted out on here or end up in the scap metal bin. A good virgin crank will sell for $1000 on ebay. A good block will go for $750+.

I keep ignoring it as well, its just not in the cards right now. But I paid double for mine, granted it was assembled and theoretically could have just dropped in and run but man this seems like a steal even if it needs work.
