if anybody is watching this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290093469705&fromMakeTrack=true (94-95 mustang procharger) don't bid because i won this item last week under this Item number: 290089565667. it's the same guy he reused his email and everything. i won the item for 2290.00 and when i asked how much shipping was it was included in total price. he lists under Eloy AZ but when asked where to send money he responds to somewhere in the UK and asks for western union, also he went as far as to send me an ebay spoof email that ended up in my junk mail at my hotmail account and never showed up in my ebay account. i was pretty excited too, but it was too good to be true. luckily he never made money on me 'cause i'm the paranoid type but don't let it happen to you, oh and i've reported his ass on several occasions already and he has the nerve to resubmit the ad, i'm also 100% positive feedback in both selling and buying on ebay, ramble over :mrgreen:

The listing is removed now, looks like ebay might have actually done something about it for once. Greg, why don't you just go with some extra cubes while your motor is out of the car already? Or better yet, stuff an 03 cobra drivetrain in it.

Did he want you to send the money or say the part was in Lincolnshire? If so its the same asshole that almost got me. There was a tractor for sale buy it now 3500.00 I was all jazzed about it. I asked where he was and where the tractor was. He was like Lincolnshire. Well I happen to have a friend in Lincolnshire. I told him I was going to send my friend over to inspect the tractor. Then he started backpedaling saying he was in Spain and could not show it. After it was all said and done it was an asshole that hacked a very nice ladies account. I actually ended up talking to her afterwards and she was so upset that I might have been ripped off with someone using her account. If its too good to be true it probably is.

Hell, look at all the fraud listings for Rare Mustangs. 1969/1970 BOSS Mustangs at Buy It Now for just $5,600.00. Shelby's and others listed the same way.

I bought a lil nitrous kit several years back froma guy on teh Ebay.. Said it gives about a 30 hp shot..
Come to find out: It was the nitrous bottles used in canned foods. It made the idle o up on my mustang for, oh, about 2 seconds, maybe to 1500 rpm, then it died.
I reported him to ebay and they banned him :)

dude i'd love to put an 03 setup in it but wife/kids, i'm the one supporting everybody, budget is a factor now. only reason was going to spend that much money was because everything in that kit was totaling 4K+ and 2290.00 is a "steal" litterally. i thought about buying either a dss 347 or coast high 347 but that doesn't give me, head bolts, valve springs, pushrods, certain tools i need to obtain, gaskets, list goes on and on. so for everything i need it would cost about as much as a shortblock, but i dunno have to wait and see how bad crank is and condition of my motor, possibly might have to buy a new motor. oh yeah dude did you see my clutch and shit, my flywheel looks like a fucking brake rotor grooved all to hell. oh yeah i need a new clutch maybe flywheel, cause i've turned that one already and it's got a nice deep groove. dunno we'll see.

If you listed your Mustang on there as a Shelby I'd consider that fraud too!

Yeah i saw that clutch, that thing is toast man. You might be better off buying a 347 shortblock than rebuilding that 302. Take my word for it, small things will nickel and dime you to death. I started out planning on spending about 3k on my motor, now it looks like i'll be more like 6k into it by the time its in the truck.
