Does it look like a clean job to you guys? I'm not sure what a good job would look like so.... I just wish he would have said something about this in the description...I should return it for false advertising lol...naa it runs like a champ.

looks well used, and it does look like a "at home job" but if it runs, it runs!

And boy does it run...I threw on the JP-2 like you suggested and it gave me the top end I wanted back... Did you feel the pinch on this thing at the track though!? It's crazy for a 10 gallon motor.

looks like a shitty job of storing the motor, a little residue from some odonnell fuel, maybe just clean up all the parts with some WD 40

Naa that was just a dead plug. Remember towards the end of the night when my rear diff blew it would start right up? THat's because I put in a new plug.

He tells you to look inside after you already bought it because he knew it looked like crap Wink

umm...and the reason why he didin't tell you it was modded before you actually bought it was.....??? Sounds kinda odd...but if it runs good...I guess it doesn't matter.

That looks like a LOT of material was removed! But as others have said... If it runs, it runs!
