572cu engine on Ebay
 

This weekend I was bidding on a 572cu. merlin motor on Ebay and I was high bidder at $6600 with 1 minute to go. Sure enough someone outbid me at $6700. Well here's the deal, the high bidder couldn't pay so the seller wants to know if I'm still interested. I am, but I kinda want to get it for $6K. I would post the page but I don't want to divulge the seller. The motor is 775hp and is 10 to 1 comp. It is 6 months old and has all the best stuff. The only downside is it has steel heads (345cc) which makes it a heavy mofo. The guy had it in a 67 Impala running high 9's on pump gas. I have to speak with my motor mentor tomorrow to see if it's in my best interest to grab this beast. Poor credit card

DAYUM!
Wish I had the moolah for that beast!.

oooo the engine I could build with $6000 dollars.....:)

get a gmpp 572. but you couldnt go wrong with either. is he giving you a warranty or is there a warranty already on it?

Look at the bidders carefully. Has the seller left negative feedback to the top bidder? Sounds like a scam to me. Investigate before you offer any money. I would definately offer the the price you want to pay if it is not a bad price for the motor. You tried but failed due to a dead beat bidder. Now you can play lets make a deal. Since the contract is outside of ebay protect yourself with a postal money order or something else.

Looks like too big of an investment to make without a guarantee. My mentor thinks I should save for a Bill Mitchell or a Shafiroff package that has never seen nitrous and is dyno tuned. I think this summer I will have my 540cu, just got excited over this one:(
