Did Terminal do the replacement of the motor and what was the reason for having to replace the motor with only 1000 miles on the motor. Was the replacement motor same specs as the 2022 motor and can you share the displacement type of block, cam, valve size, piston and crank brand along with compression ratio, is it standard rod length, Is the cam and rockers roller type. Very interested in parts used in the assembly such as studs in block and heads, billet crank, forged pistons, steel or iron rings. Stainless or stock valves along with spring sizes, roller timing chain, standard or high volume oil pump. Balancer OE or aftermarket, lite flywheel or ?, size and brand of clutch. Is the rear end Ford, GM, C- clip retainers or otherwise, spline and brand of Axles. Is the driveline OE or aftermarket and adequate for the horsepower. Very excited about your car.I don't know if the auction allows us to talk if they do can we arrange a phone call? Pat
