I had bid on a 392 hemi on ebay did not win but the reserve was not met and the guy had sent me a second chance offer to get the engine for my max bid of $4500. seems worth it but the shipping is going to be expensive and he does not really want to ship it What do you guys think ?????? i would really like to get this motor but im not sure if i can get the guy to drop it off at a shipping place http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7946354601
I say YES! With the complete 4 spd setup I wouldnt think you could build it for that. Look around shipping might not be that much. Feder
I dont think you could build it like that for 4,500.I had a hemi engine, and when I got to pricing all the pieces to do a quality rebuild I sold it.

For BenD....check the HAMB 'O' Dex for his contact info. He should call you back or email you. You may even try to call him tonight since he is on the left coast and it is still early in the night. Chris Nelson Kansas
i struck out with ben d san jose is way north from where he is now and he wont be coming out this far east until spring or unless he gets some thing good lined up any one got any other ideas ??????
Slag, Be careful! Make sure the person contacting you is the one selling it. I have heard of scammers getting ahold of bidders and taking their money. See if you can get someone to check it out for you. Just a heads up. Move with caution.
thats what im hoping on if some one could check out the motor and get it to a shipper. from the cars the guy has sold on ebay he looks like he could be a member here

i saw that motor on ebay also. i live in san jose and could check it out, store it , help ship it possibly. let me know if you need help.
Ya, We got your back! I'm sure you already thought about my warning. Good luck. Looks like a great motor. I have a soft spot for hemi's. ( Who wouldn't?)

[/ QUOTE ] Don't let Tim have it...or it may never get to you...he'll put it in something....Maybe a Valiant wagon.... I can also 'go look' if you want it checked out. If its any help, the machine shop & the guys who biult the engine are both here in Campbell & do have a good reputation & have been around many years. Dave

It's also the fact that he wants you to buy it OUTSIDE of Ebay so he's not responsible. plus, if this price is so low like you guys are saying, then normally a person would just relist it, we're talking about another 1 or 2 thousand dollars? Even a really rich guy would want the extra thousand or two that it's worth.. I'm just saying don't get burned, good luck man.
