    Yeah… I don’t know why anyone who is not remotely interested in buying it feels compelled to complain about the price.  But, it has not sold at $2,950 yet either…

      There are some real turds on there!
    I had a brand-new of trick flow head that I listed on there.  I bought them individually on Summit and thats how I was going to sell them.  I got crucified for listing them individually.  I had stated it was for one head only.  Had numerous people reply they would pay that price for both but not one.  I had the head listed well below what Summit racing had them priced at.  After that experience I listed them on Ebay and Market place.  Ended selling one of them on Ebay.

    Brutal on the facebook group: Ford SBF 5.0 parts 
    Seems like the place where a-holes flock together..

    Many of the people responding to ads on Marketplace are clearly the product of a brother and sister marriage.....

    Could you explain that timing chain set up, brand, part#s, how's and whys of the multiple key ways and why you are running it advanced for errrr...  pretend I'm a total novice.   I've not seen that one before.

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    SOLD it!   Three more in the works. One is already spoken for.  One is for my convertible.  And I think the last one has a buyer, as well.

    Real nice Ford fan came down from Austin to buy it.  Since he was going use EFI on it, I reduced the price $100 and I kept the rebuilt carb I had put on it.

     What's a Ford fab? Do they grow those in Texas? (glad you got your engine/motor sold)

    Sound of can of worms opening.......Is it a motor or is it an engine?

    Seems like a fair price.  That's pretty much the same setup as in my 66 and not too far off from what I spent.

    Re: This is a 5.0 roller I am building



    You need one of these.  Drill and tap the base of the air cleaner for 1/2” npt in front of the carb. Add a 5/8” heater hose over to the breather cap.
    I found the brass fittings on ebay.
