I just pulled my motor out of my T-type. This motor has run solid and never had a issue. I pulled it out to freshen it up and sell it. I was completely blown away at the condition of the internals. The will post pics tomorrow of the motor and the bearing that came out of this shortblock. I ran the numbers in my sig with this motor at 25 psi. Here is a list of whats in it.
109 block .30 over
J&E pistons with file fit plasma moly rings
Stock crank 10/10 (ARP hard ware)
stock rods fitted with ARP hardware
New double rolling timing chain
218/224 ductile roller with DLS cam kit
Steal caps
High volume front cover with waterpump
Stock flywheel and balancer
Oil pan
I brought it to my enginer builder and told him to freshen it up (meaning rings, bearings, line hone, timing chain etc). He disassembled it, cleaned the block, put in new bearings, line honed it, put in a new double rolling timing chain and cleaned all the parts and re assembled it. He told me the rings are still in good shape and did not reccomend a new set, the line hone is more then enough. The pistons are in mint condition. Spent $900 to freshen it up although it did not need it. But its a better selling feature knowing that it has been throughly inspected and put back together. Also piece of mind.
Motor has a clean bill of health, asking $3300 without lifters and $3700 with zero lash Race Comp 885 lifters. Great piece for a daily driver/ weekend warrior.

. Just kidding. I want to run faster than I have and keep original if I need to, Ive told many peple that I have every nut,bolt and washer that came Off my car. and I mean it. Mike seems as particulate about his stuff as I so this should be a good transaction.
