And the motor has super low miles, that is the best part. An HO motor with low miles, lol, the forged crank alone would make it worth buying IMHO. Once I start taking the old motor apart I will post up what I will selling.

The HO pistons have two great advantages. The first is being dome shaped and the second is the floating wrist pin. Great combo for running boost.
