I built this pump gas 396 cubic inch engine for my 71 Vega wagon, which I sold without the engine. It wasn't meant to be a "race" engine, never took it to the track, ran it up to 4500 RPM one time in my neighborhood in 2nd gear. Total miles are honestly about 30 I would say, once to Puddingstone (9 miles round trip), and a few "laps" around the neighborhood testing.

Nothing real trick in it,, cast crank, 2 bolt main, cast pistons, Crane flat tappet hydraulic cam, but I did assemble it myself, so I am confident that it's right. Block is 1967 vintage if I recall, and heads are from 1969 I think. Intake manifold was brand new Professional Products polished oval port. Long block only,, intake to pan. Not included at this price are headers, valve covers, carb and air cleaner, MSD distributor or water pump.

Long block only, $2500
