Needs the bottom end rebuilt, but the parts alone listed / shown are close to double what he's asking. Paying someone to do much of the work gets expensive in a hurry. I know I won't add up what I've spent repairing my Burb because its more then I paid for it. I'd be torn between stealing the motor for something else (the Burb) or keeping it in the smallest truck I'd actually want to buy.

LOL @ assuming it's over 500 HP because the bottom end was "supposed to be good for 600 HP" but it went so quickly.

So the bottom end was good for 600 HP but they blew it up immediately and it's knocking, so it must have REALLY been making some serious power!

crackhead logic

600 hp might have been OK with a new bottom end?

Seems to me putting a blower on an engine with 140,000 miles on it is a little iffy.

Prolly had the knock all along just couldn't hear it over the blower & timing gear noise lol.

30k seems like quite the over estimate unless he got it as a rusted out pile. Still looks like a nice truck even though the blower alone is worth more than the rest of the truck lol.
