You will receive the complete longblock engine as seen in photos minus the clutch kit (i can add the clutch,transmission and torque tube for an extra fee). A Cold leakdown test was done on the engine which showed around 5-7% leakage difference between the cylinders which is normal and confirms good rings, valves and headgaskets.
full photos w leakdown results can be found here.

Wow, so you are saying its ok not to disclose problems with an item you are selling if the price is low enough? Good to remember if I ever see something posted by you in the future. GLWS.

I had so many awesome jokes that i considered posting, but ill try to offer genuine advice instead....
It is obviously in an odd spot from it being in a fire. Depending on what happened to it and how hot it got, etc, it may have a lot of value. It may, also, be worthless. If I were you, Id have a professional engine builder tear it down, and use their witchcraft (or however they clean parts up so well) to get it cleaned up, all of the different areas checked for damage, cracks from the heat, distortion from the heat, etc. Then, they could reassemble it with fresh pics of what you have, and fully verify and document the "good to go"-ness of the engine and blower. Then, you could easily fetch a fair sum for it. As is, the risk is so extremely high that the $2k offer above was actually pretty fair. I just think having a little reconditioning done prior to sale would make it better for you in the grand scheme.

no I have photos of the engine and leak-down results which should be enough for a human of average intelligence to decipher that the engine is from a burned vehicle...now if i had no photos whatsoever THAT would be dishonest.

But just to clarify ive torn down hundreds of burned engines, most burned more then this(examples all aluminum gen2/gen3 vipers, ford gt40s, R8, ferrari f131, murcielago,etc...) and i can tell you a leakdown test is 90% accurate in telling the story and use-ability. Its even more promising if there is still oil present in the motor after the fire.
