To address multiple PM's- AS stated- I am not looking to part this, I am not looking to haggle, and no, just because it is on a forum does not mean I HAVE to haggle. And to reiterate, buyer arranges shipping and pays shipping. Zip code 98664. Not trying to be rude, just trying to be clear
I originally bought this from BruceH while I still had my Mustang.
What I have done since purchasing this: added a set of Red painted valve covers, added a new set of BBK tuned short length shorty headers, stage 8 locking bolts and thrown a new spring in the Brown booted COP's. Inserted a water temperature sensor into the block. Autometer analog Cobalt water temp gauge will be included. Also including a oil filter relocation kit with -8an stainless lines with a oil pressure sensor bung. Can throw in stock fuel rails and injectors.
Per Bruces build thread:
"This 285 cubic inch motor is built with a 1L series of WAP aluminum block from a 2004 Mach 1. Calculated compression is 11.27:1
It's bored .030" over and has flat top Mahle 4032 pistons with a 1cc exhaust valve relief. The pistons are side coated and hard anodized.
The connecting rods are h beam 4340 steel with arp2000 rod bolts.
Stock crankshaft. Stock cams. Stock new style heads with little use. Includes vct housings and solenoids. The valve train components are new. This includes the lifters, rockers, phasers, timing chains, tensioners, gear, trigger wheel, and guides.
Stock oil pump, pickup, windage tray, stock tty hardware, new early model oil pan with bung on the passenger side.
The short block came from my old motor. It has 25,000 miles on it and ran fantastic when it was pulled. It has seen as much as 699rwhp uncorrected. The stock heads were purchased as having a few thousand miles on them and they look very good. The surfaces were straight edge checked prior to assembly. The FRPP 3v head changing kit was used to fasten the heads.
Also included is the front cover, stock balancer, a Stewart high flow water pump, rear cover, and stock oil filter adapter.
Things that need to be mentioned:
The crankshaft snout is rethreaded with an insert. The current balancer bolt is a grade 8 7/16-14 torqued to 52 ft lbs. It has been installed with blue Loctite. I've never had an issue with it and have had a number of balancers on and off since the insert was installed.
Some of the sealing surfaces common to the block were cleaned with a power tool by the idiot I bought it from on ebay. This required decking the block. The oil pan and front cover area were also cleaned with a power tool so I've used a thin layer of rtv on these surfaces "just in case". The motor didn't leak when it was pulled and I had used rtv during the previous assembly.

Asking $2300 picked up or $2300+ SH&H. Buyer must arrange pickup and shipping- Location Vancouver WA. Willing to discuss meeting buyer within a 100 mile radius.
I don't mean to be a butt here but I HAVE NO INTEREST AT THE MOMENT OF BREAKING DOWN THE BLOCK| SEPARATING PARTS ETC| I am in No hurry to sell this and I am firm on my price. If I reach a point I am willing to negotiate on the price and or beak the longblock apart- I will post it clearly.
I will be listing a NIB Whiteline Watts link with 3 quarts of Royal Purple, a set of 4:10 Ford racing gears, stock tail lights, used Steeda Brake duct kit with modified lower grill, and other parts after I get photos.
