The 289 HIPO block price is not that far out of line in my opinion. You can easily expect to pay $800 to $1500 for a used Boss 302 block. Actually this 289 block could have went for more money if the guy would have known a little more about the block and it's condition. I am not impressed with the seller. Seller still wants to pay a handling fee of $50 if the buyer picks the item up. That sucks in my opinion. I am in the Detroit area. I will conduct an E-Bay search for Ford engine components out to 200 miles so that I can pick the stuff up in person. I'll be damned if I'm going to drive an hour one way and then have to pay an extra $50 when I pick it up.Full engines and short blocks are pretty heavy and normally need to go truck freight. I've gotten some great deals off of E-Bay on engine parts just in my local area. <BR></DIV> <DIV>Jim Seisser<BR><BR>-----Original Message----- <BR>From: DMGT350@aol.com <BR>Sent: Mar 20, 2005 10:24 PM <BR>To: ShelbyMustang@carmemories.com <BR>Subject: Re: 67 GT-350 fuel pump <BR><BR><ZZZHTML><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2 PTSIZE="10">HiPo parts are crazy right now, like these two: <BR><BR><A href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4535614428">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4535614428</A> <BR><BR><A href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4535629787">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4535629787</A> <BR><BR>In a message dated 3/20/2005 3:41:46 PM Pacific Standard Time, ecj@peoplepc.com writes: <BR><BR></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" TYPE="CITE">I wonder how old this specific fuel pump is, if it will work and how long it will last? All the list members have said how crazy the Shelby car prices have been on E-Bay. This is just plain nuts for part prices and this is just one example!
