Recently acquired a low mile 3V engine which I believe was a prototype for Ford, or of the FRPP M-6009-463V short block. Kept the aluminum block, but getting rid of the "small" stuff...
This engine looks to have only dyno time on it or if it was used, it was only for a few thousand miles maybe. Everything is clean and in great shape - just thought there are guys out there that could use some of these things. Whatever I don't sell will just get donated to a local salvage yard, so thought I would check here first.
The pistons all look nice, but the rods appear to need a light honing (no idea why). All the pistons also have what I think is the weight in grams written underneath - all between 186-195. There is also some carbon buildup around the top land, but I assume that is normal. The pictures stink, but I can get better ones if necessary.
Crank looks good, but I'll probably just scrap it unless someone really needs it.
Have the oil pan, oil pump, oil pump pickup, oil cooler adapter, crank damper, knock sensors, and water pump. Open to any offers or I'll cart everything off soon.
