Looks like a scam or uneducated seller. I see very old heads and 2 freeze plugs in the block. Is that carb looking thing and autolite inline 4 bbl? Plus he says "don't choke his chicken," thats funny right there!

Ha...I just saw a bunch and didn't bother to count. Given the rest of the car I assumed one for each cylinder! But you are right, 8 would be tacky. 6 is tasteful.

How old is that engine builder if he's been doing Pontiac engines for 75 years?

The pictures show the blower simply sitting on a valley pan. I wonder how that affects efficiency?

My guess is that "rollerized" means that the stand it is sitting on has rollers under it.

Those are the old style pistons, I'd bet that's a 326 instead of a 350. I don't believe you can get 350 pistons with the old valve-relief pattern. I wonder how long ago that engine was built.

He say he has 5K in the bottom end, is there a bag of money sitting in the block somewhere. Those are old style TRW piston that would cost about $ 200.00 a set & I didn't see anything else that was close to the money he's asking. The blower looks to be at least 25 years old.

Is it me or is the blower sitting on it backwards? If so then that will really choke his chicken, and throw efficiency right out the window. LOL

I just took a second look at that ????? 350 with the blower. WHY would a reputable engine builder use heads with press in studs for a blower engine. You would have to think the first time you wound it up you would pull a few of the studs right out just because of the pressure of the ??? roller cam & valve train parts. 75 years of Pontiac engine building , he would have started out on the flat heads, but if he was doing it now could he even pull the torque wrench to tighten the heads because he'd have to be at least 92 years old now. Thats if he started at 17 years old. Just make ya wonder.
