Buyer Beware - Rick Ehrenberg
**** how about if you read between the lines of his opening post, notice how he wants to give the rotating assembly back but keep the block? How about he wants reimbursement for NEW pistons and rings? Maybe he thought is was too obvious n so he left the crank part out?
Is this guy trying to capitalize on his loss by turning it into a stroker on burgo's dime...?
Lol'ing as this unfolds...
OP back. I wanted to clear up a few things.
- Rick is more than welcome to having the block back, with the pistons and crank, and everything else I'm not using (cam and lifters, too; see below).
- I paid between $3-4 for the rebuilt 340. Reusing the heads on the 360.
- Rick sold it to me with the single plane intake. I had the dual plane intake swapped by the mechanic.
- Biggest misconception I want to clear up: Rick never said, or identified in the ad, that this was a drag motor. I have the original For Sale ad that would verify. I would have walked if it said that in the ad.
- Rick didn't know what the cam was. I know, stoopid OP, why did you buy it then? Cuz Rick told me that it was not a crazy lift (but that it was a Mopar Purple Stripe because that's what he specced). No, I don't have an email that backs that up.
- I bought a new cam with a profile that matches what I've done to the car (3.55 SG, slightly warmer torque converter). Rick can have the mystery cam and lifters back, too.
Not gonna address your opinions of me, my decisions, the mechanic, etc. And I'm not trying to keep the thread going. But it's amusing to see the replies.
And for those of you who'd never sell me anything, its your prerogative. But if you love Rick, I've got a 340 block, crank and pistons to sell you that I'm sure he'd be happy to autograph...provided you paid him $0.60 per mile to get to you :thankyou:
