When mine was notches it blew up at 468whp. 4 blew up around here that year.
It's not a perfect engine by far. Head ticks are common and if you don't have the cooling mod you can forget about 7 or 8 living. Oil pumps have also been known to come apart in them.
When i press the gas on one i don't get the feeling of this is a badass motor. But more of a wife screaming in my ear about something she don't want to do. That's what blower whine reminds me of.

I would like to.
I'm not asking to much. Don't talk up the furd stuff then say it's not worth anything. That doesn't make sense. They all have their issues but as you can tell the furd crew will cover up their ****. I only exposed it after they acted high and mighty.
Lol....good pick up man. I was about to add to the list of furd problems. We had lots if problems with furd coils on our race cars. But they were under extreme conditions.
And lets not even get into the furd diesel debacle.
I will say the newer era furd stuff seems to be much better. Although there was some ecoboost issues it seems they are stepping in the right direction. Definitely not the days of weak 99 cobras.
Yup.....not unreasonable for that caliber of car. 25k seems as a good place to start.
They usually go for near that. Anything under 20k is not nearly as nice of a car as mine. I don't think I've sen a termi swapped fox with air conditioning on it yet either.....except mine.
Hell finding a fox with out the tq boxes busted up in and the lower rad support not caved in is about a 8-10k car if it's stock.

That many in a local area, I suspect your local tuner was ******* things up.
Only one i have had us piston slap in my ls1. But that's not a big deal. Only there on really cold start ups. Most lifter issues seems to be sludgy oil related or people using double springs.

Yeah, goal was to run a 10 second time slip with it and then stop racing it and put my Fox Body race car back together. After it ran the 10, I daily drove it for another year and then made it Garage Queen status.

If that's a starting point, that's more understanding. I had originally thought you wouldn't take a penny less.

Every single LSx motor I've ever owned had piston slap. Hell, I have an 02 Z28 with 121K on it, and an 03 Silverado 5.3L with 208K on it, both have piston slap. I agree that it's not a big deal, but it's extremely common.

I got my new setup torn apart too. I work on so much crap I just don't have alot of time to get it done right now. Last weekend I was supposed to work on it. But after working on stuff for 60-70 hours last week I had no interest in it, and just hung out with my kids instead.

I have owned 8 LS powered vehicles, 2 had slap, 1 was minor, the other is noisy, only if it sits for longer than a few days it goes away when it builds the slightest amount of heat. Strange I know, I have heard of it being common but I just haven't experienced it being as common as they say. Possible I just have had good luck too.

They are nice cars, can't go wrong just hanging on to it for down the road build.

I'm just keeping it as a Sunday driver, since I wanted one so bad; when they came out.
My next build will more than likely be a 4 eye Fox with a Coyote swap or a 60's Mustang with a hot SBF.
I've been racing real hard the past few years, so I'm sitting out this year to have some much needed repairs and updates done on my house. LoL, as much as I love racing, I probably should have just bought a single wide trailer in the cut with a big shop and made racing life, instead of building a house in a neighborhood with a 2 car garage.

Someone say real world experience with terminators? Back when my **** made a Beasley 490hp. Against my buddies 03' which at the time was the highest hp stock blower car. I don't remember exact numbers but it was like 550ish. Ran 7.teens @101. It was no slouch by any means. But it still got drug by a subpar engine combo

Was that a IRS or a SRA Cobra?

I don't "talk up" the ford stuff, I give ford credit where its due, the exact same I do with GM, etc. Unlike many, I don't favor one over the other. And no where did I say it's not worth anything, I said the price tag is high. You're the one not making sense for saying that. For example, a LS3 C6 just as clean/nice could be had for the same price. Like I said, it would take the right person, which is a very thin herd.
If that's a starting point, that's more understanding. I had originally thought you wouldn't take a penny less.
