I have a few questions...
What cams? Dyno curves to show torque distribution? What is the redline run? What is the normal shift point? Trying to determine how much wear at 36 hours.
I assume this is 66x90mm.
Case work? Timeserts or Casesavers? Oil bypass mod done? Was the case line bored or shaved and resized?
Port sizes? What were original heads? MFI ports?

The short honest answer is that I don't know. I am checking...I will post when I have the answer from the mechanic who did the work.
Everything in the photo and description is what is included and what the engine needs; including engine tin.

Talk to eric shea about good used race engines...Franz Blam is one of the Best. Time and maintenance is the wild card..

I can't speak to the cam or dyno...but I do know that it ran well and at 35 hours needs a refresh.
No MFI ports. Normally when shuffle pinned it is bored, but I can't confirm that. The ports are 39 tapered to 35mm.
All I can tell you is it's a good engine, Blum built and well maintained. I've not opened it up myself. And, being a 7R it's worth what I'm asking. I hope that helps.
I would keep it, but I'm running a different car now and don't need an engine of this type (or the chassis I'm selling as well).

The engine and chassis are now sold...package deal. Thanks everyone for your questions, interest and comments. Have a great day!
