1014 is allot of hours ...... $2k. ....not a bad price but if I were to buy it, the internals and heads would get a complete tear down and warm over before I would consider putting it in a boat anyways.
Ah he!! I just lied my azz off....... I'd stroke it, cam it, and bolt on a set of AFR's :laugher:
On a serious note, I know of a SW site member who recently bought a used 502 with the heads. Same set up as Dukes. He removed the heads and found that the tops of the pistons looked like someone had taken a hammer to them. Then he flipper the engine over and removed the oil pan..... there was no oil pump !!
I'm not at all suggesting that's the condition that Dukes' engine is in. Just saying ya can't be too careful when buying used stuff

I would just take the heads off for him, it will only take a few minutes. If he doesn't buy it you can show the condition of the pistons to the next person.
i think id just tell him to go piss into the wind. a 502 can take a world of abuse. if he thinks hes gettin a new motor at a used price hes on drugs. i agree with everyone else, if he wants it pulled down he can foot the bill to have it put back together. u as the seller dont need to have to worry about stuff like that.
I'd say stick with the leak down test. Get a nice bright flashlight and you'd be able to see far enough though the spark plug hole to see if there was significant damage.
I'd only pull the heads if he came over with cash and pickup truck.
Yea, I think you know why I'm asking, because the block is all I'd be using anyways..
Stroker,,, , Yup, I can say it.. :laugher: :bigsmile:
