392 & 8hp70 65 Valiant

The best advise I can give you is if possible, put your eyes on it before you buy it. This was bought from a guy in I think Tennessee but a guy in Michigan sent it. There was some miscommunication and took about 5 months to get but I finally got it. I probably would have been ok just sticking it in and running it but I wanted to cam it while it was out, after buying all the gaskets bolts and other necessary items it was down to a short block. Then seeing how many guys loose a rod through the side of the block I figured at that point your starting over. I figured it was the best time to put some pistons and rods in it. Over all it was just dirty and not what you’d expect out of a 2020 I guess. I’ve been through so many different stages of engines and issues I’ve just decided to not half *** it and if I’m gonna do it I’m going to do it right. After the guy I bought it from agreed to send a little money back I was in it pretty decent.

Thanks, that really helps people understand adjust their expectations and what to watch out for. And adjust what they are willing to pay accordingly.

These are just used motors like buying a 440 or 360. Don't get over impressed by a 3 year old motor. Also, is their a higher chance of owner abusing a motor that totals a 3 year old SRT vehicle?
