I am looking for a good engine for cheap and this guy on ebay is selling a very powerfull 355 for under $3,500. He gives the spec's but I'm not very knowledgeable with engines. He has very good feedback from previous customers. For all you engine experts out there, let me know if he is using quality parts or junk to build this. here's the link-

He appears to be using quality parts. Putting this engine into a computer-controlled car could get interesting (read: "nice lopey idle"). I'm sure you'd need a higher stall torque converter (if auto tranny) or gears (if manual). I don't see any mention of a dyno sheet included. Porting is a crap shoot unless you know of the person's reputation specifically. I've never heard of high-tin engine blocks (high nickel, yes).
