The engine was just rebuilt I was told!!!

Though he is a POS, you have to be smarter in the future with your purchases, which I'm sure you will be after this experience. Me I this case I would have told him I want it but that you want to tear it down to verify it is what he is claiming, if he says no? Run like the wind.

I will never be mislead again. I have a trusting nature but I will not be fooled again.

On a good note, I have taken the motor apart more. I found the crank to be number 2206160 which I think makes it a forged crank. The connecting rods are 2951908 which are six pack rods. A little heavy, any problem with them in a 500 hp build?

The pistons look good to me on the sides, as well as the cylinders. Are these stock pistons? The cylinder diameter is stock 4.320

The lifters look brand new.

The main bearing I pulled as well as the rod bearing are decent but I may replace them.

I think I will start a build thread tomorrow with this info as well
