[T3] Bad News On Engine

[Dennis Stiefel]

I called them. A T-3 long block with shipping to me plus core charge would
be a little over $1600. Not a bad deal for all that but I will probably go
another way and build it myself. Still talking to folks.

Keep in mind as well, shipping east to west is far more expensive than
shipping west to east, and shipping for the individual is far more expensive
than a company with a shipping account.

figure  $175-200 for drop shipping a long block



I think that's about what I paid for my all aluminum case MOFOCO  engine to 
be shipped back in 2006. However it didn't really have far to go,  until it 
went to Montana. :O Like someone else here mentioned, it too was timed  
like a t-1, so changing that was the 1st order of business. Supposedly it
was 
to  be set up as an FI T-3 engine, but what I got was basically a t-1 carb 
set up.  What I mean by that, is that there was no provision for the head
temp 
sensor,  and the t-1 drive gear orientation, and a plate covering where the 
t-3 dip stick  would go (it was new a universal case). But it came with a 
"rebuilt" t-3 oil  cooler, that I ordered when the engine was built (insert 
rolling eyes icon  here).
