I cant believe that no one wants this engine. It is a really good deal!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-05-2008, 09:08 PM

What had to be done to the heads to make them work on a 396? Were they milled?

Redden05 · 11-05-2008, 09:17 PM

The heads were milled, the block was decked, and I believe it has domed pistons to get the compression up.

does it come with a warrantee???

Redden05 · 12-10-2008, 07:31 PM

No it does not. It was built by a professional local engine shop who can be trusted. We have had them do several things for us and they always do a great job.

Well, So far I have figured out that "TTT" stands for To The Top. As for what "Bump" means? I still can't help you.

Bump? Bump the thread to the top of the page....

They are the same thing.

chrislehr · 12-18-2008, 12:07 AM

Been watching since post #1. Money is tight, I need an engine, if its still here in February and I have the money, I would do it if the ride to Austin wont cost an arm and a leg.

Only rub for me is I would need a new tranny and a lot of diff parts since mine is a SBC, but thats more my issue than yours.

Redden05 · 12-18-2008, 06:00 PM

Alright chrislehr, if it is still available in February, we will make a deal. And thanks everyone for explaining the terms. lol

Redden05 · 07-07-2009, 11:47 PM

So my brother still has this engine. Any interest yet?

Redden05 · 07-27-2009, 05:50 PM

This is FINALLY Gone. Thanks everyone.
