Please post the e-mails (finalizing the sale) between you and Johnny so we can see what you and he agreed on for the final sale. the ad # you sent doesn't give us any information.
in No relation to your and Johnny's deal but its not un-common to see engines sold without water pumps, starters etc.......unless agreed upon in the price negotiation...
Please post your and Jonny's correspondance....Next time i see Johnny at the track i will ask him about this deal....yes i know him
( Not friends) and i don't say this in a bad way i just don't want anyone assuming we are best Buds or anything only see him at the track on casual basis.
As a matter of fact i will text a Buddy of mine that ran this very Engine of Johnnys (loaner motor) in his T-bird and see if he knows anything about it...
here is a Vid of the 706ci you bought in a 3,000lb ladder bar all steel t-bird on 10.5's...i think this was a 4.90ET @ (mid 140 mph'ish) pass on a Very small tune up as you can see it was on the bumper
