Your gonna have to answer lots of questions if you expect someone to spend 6k on something.

Thank you,

I have no interest in this engine, just thought it might help his ad to have the facts. I thought 28 cigarettes were all twins, but maybe I am wrong??:lolhit:

I am just saying that if this was in a 28 Cig, it must have been rerigged to a single, or it had 2 of these, at which point 82 MPH is nothing to brag about. personally I would delete this thread, and start over with the facts.

You two A holes need to find another hobby. We bought this motor to put in a 22ft donzi and we could not make it clear the swim deck. The man we got it from said 82 mph in his 26 cig. Now do you get the picture. This is a good engine for a good price. Im not trying to impress either one of you guys as a mater of fact I don't care what you think. Its a good deal and if you don't want it quit yappin. Thanks......Mark

Never said it was a bad deal, your bad for believeing what he said, since there is no such thing as a 26 cigarette, wonder what other BS was made up about the engine(not saying by you, but maybe the previous owner)? Since you have not run it, why should anyone buy it on heresay, and no dyno sheet?? Truth has come out, you are selling something you have no idea what it is, go ahead, and sell it, and if it blows up your name will be dirt for misrepresenting it, kinda like that other thread started by a Baja owner:eek: This kinda stuff touches home a little as I just got finished helping a very good friend rebuild a 622" Naturally aspirated big block that he bought from someone here, and it was never right, cost him big $$(custom J/E pistons, new Dart CNC heads etc after it dropped a valve) and a ton of garage time to get it right. I'll quit my yapping now, and go run my little outboard boat :drink:

Do you think a dino sheet will keep a motor together? Thanks for your input. I guess we should put it in a boat and see what it will do, then pull it out get it on a dino and get the sheet make a million copys for people like you that have no plans on buying it, then tear it down put fresh bearings and rings add a thousand hour warranty. That sounds good huh. Or just tell you to kiss my- -- and sell it to someone as is.

Wow, this thread getting heated.

Some info such as

Compression ratio
Cylinder head make and size
Camshaft specs
Type of crank/rods/pistons

With that info, it would be able to determine whether its a solid engine to invest in, or pass on. Also will help to determine how much power it makes.

Maybe I should have played nice, and told him he should post that stuff a while back, but it is too much fun to mess with a baja owner, besides, not sure if he even knows that info, since he bought it and never used it. Not sure why it wouldnt fit into a 22 Donzi, seeing as they come stock with big blocks, unless it had something to do with the blower and they didnt want to cut?? But what do I know, my boat has an outboard:grinser010::party-smiley-004:

People are very weary about buying a used engine from the get go. On top of that, the facts seem to be off in your listing. Were just trying to get the story straight with the engine. Dont get mad at us because you dont know anything about the engine. I had a 22 Donzi w/ a 509 in it. No problems fitting at all. A blower wont fit under a flat engine hatch, but if you put a scoop on the boat, it will. Mine didnt have a swim deck, so I dont know about that. Sound like YOU didnt do any research before you bought this engine! You should have the guy you bought it from post the engine specs and the list of parts used to build it. THEN, it will sell. :kiss:

Things have been testy around these parts lately...

Old men must get grumpy when their bones start aching in the cold...
