What do you mean you "screwed it up"? I wonder why he pulled it.

What do those suckers go for at a dealer now? $8200 seems rather high for even a new one, unless I'm behind the times.
$10,400 with computer. I'd pay for new with warranty. But then he may come down some.
Usually a good used one would go for 60-70% of new. But with only 1000 miles, maybe a bit more, if the circumstances of pulling it at 1000 miles were "explainable".
If an EFI BBC was in my sights, I'd be looking at alternatives. Like building my own, or buying a carb'd one and doing a different EFI conversion.
I'd start my own website, bullshit about having 28000 members and collect all the easy money from bone head advertisers then buy a 572!Originally Posted by Rick_L

How much do you think you could build a BBC with forged internals, roller cam, and aluminum heads for? Add $3000 for just about any EFI setup. I thought about building my own engine but decided it didn't make sense. I bought the ZZ502 longblock (same as RJ502) with an aluminum intake and distributor new for $4400, and pieced together my Ramjet EFI with better parts for around $2000.$8200 seems rather high for even a new one, unless I'm behind the times.

IMO a warranty on these engines doesn't mean much unless your car is finished when you buy the engine. I'll bet most guys go through their warranty period of 2 years before their car ever hits the road.

I understand the early ZZ502's had an issue with ring sealing and excessive oil use. As a matter of fact, I have a close friend who put a ZZ502, FI in his high-end 55 and he is pulling it out and going through the short block due to the fact it uses so much oil. Interestingly, no leaks, and no smoke... but.. it uses waaay too much oil
