I've never seen it, but if he bought it for 1,400 it was a steal.

He got what he paid i for think... There is issues with that car and it needs some refining for sure but all the basics are there.

I wonder how he got that in there without chewing up the firewall? awesome!

[bwilson27]

Um, are there brakes or steering on this?

[MNspiderman]

I think that was on ebay last year or early this summer. Brakes are in the floorboard

Oh he chewed into the firewall that is unavoidable. also chewed into the fender well also. Anyway you slice it the installation is invasive. I prefer my 4.3L v6 to the 5.0 its smaller lighter and still puts out comparable hp as compared to the 5.0...and it is not a ford!
