what do you think of this engine/tranny for sale...

[mike reeh]

you may remember my post last week about an engine and trans for sale...

well I went and looked at it today..

its a 396. on the stamping pad I got the following information:

T08I6ET & 7B118499

the intake manifold is a GM aluminum, winters foundry, # 3933163

heads are 3904390 "pass" which decode as oval port and the intake is rect. port.. I was under the impression that that is a no-no.

as for the engine block, it was cast with "3902403 P" which I cant find a reference to in any of my decoding sources.. (books and online) ... anyone help out?

and the transmission is a muncie M22....

they wanna get rid of it for a grand. he swore the heads were rectangular port. but they are not Im going to offer 900$ for the whole package.. what do y'all think. I know that the trans is worth a pretty penny by itself. Condition is supposed to be real good of the tranny too
