Hmm hard to say |

To many variables to say if you got a good deal or not, or whether you got taken or not. Its real hard when you only hear one side of the story. One of the problems with these old blocks is some of the Hipo names have been bandied about so much they have been watered down. Another is everybody would really love to uncover gem mint FE Hipo parts. You mention you have dealt with this person before, has he dealt fairly with you in the past? If so, most people wouldn't change to a rip-off artist. It really sounds like some mis-communication or some mis-listening. I would like to see a nice (real) CJ for 150.00. I have yet to do so. I am no expert but I am afraid that had you bought from one of the other two you might have been in the same boat as you are now. I guess you could also look at it this way, you have a pretty decent intake,(I think one of Fords better cast ones anyway) for not a bad price, and if its in good shape, you might be able to sell it and then get one of your CJ deals. I know my buddy swears by his "s" code manifold in his 67 T-bird. His 390 and mine are built very, very similiar (except mine has a C5 intake) and his seems to be better by the seat of the pants. Good luck. Hopes it work out. Hope I was able to help. |
