....not mine!!

1/2 way through my build I met up with a guy 45 miles south of me that ran a Dakota in dry lake bed races that switched to 4BT Cummins.... prior to that it was W8 small blocks. He had one used one for $3500 (complete, just add carb) and a freshened one off the dyno for $7500, once again, complete, just add carb. Both were dry sump. I understand the "used" engine sold, but the one he had freshened is still there.


Yours is a pretty big motor and I know you have $$ in the heads (I have W9's done by the same fella) but you made something like 760 IIRC at 436" (?) that's nothing to laugh at by any means but a lot of these small cube high rpm W8 motors make around 2hp/ CI in my opinion that is quite an impressive task. 364" 9:1 made 733. I do however wonder what the dry sump is worth on the time slip.
