The reason I ask is I sold one to a guy for $1200 bucks it was a 7.4 330 hp to start, it has Merlin heads Edelbrock rpm intake, arp rod and head bolts roller rockers 9.5/1 Hyperutectic pistons you get the idea. anyway it had 300+ hrs on it I pulled it becouse it was tired and built 2 new ones it sat in the corner for 3 years after being drained and hosed down with wd40 he buys it without ever speaking to me through a second party for $1200 for a drag car.He tears it down and says it had 3 cylinders that are rusty and wants his money back....what do you guys think? I think he stole it just for the core...the Merlins are $1600 a pair...should I feel bad?

I think he should be the one to feel bad. As you said he got a deal.I looked every where for a couple of months for some rebuildable 454 4 bolts and all were basically junk and they were asking 500 to 700 bucks.

I have to agree with tickfaw..........a stock 330 core is worth about 500.00 with every thing that was in that it was worth about 1500-1800 at least as is, Id tell him to pound sand

this is assuming you sold this to him as is

Thanks guys I feel better after hearing what you think.

If you were'nt in Michigan, I'd buy it right now sight unseen! For more!! Unfortunately I'm on the west coast.

ttt did rip him off?anyone else

ttt

you gave him a great deal, some a holes are never happy, i parted out 2 454's with steel cranks, dimple and 990 heads that neede total rework on ebay, sold everything seperate got 3600 for the lot, you would have gotten a lot more on ebay with those heads etc., you dont owe him a thing! just forgedaboutit

I'm tryin rat thanks.

As long as the block was not cracked or damage beyond a rebuild tell the guy to get over it. Just my opinion..
