I bought this motor a few years back with the intention of dropping it in my 56 Ford Courier, but never got around to it, and ended up selling that car. This motor is a fresh build that has never been run.
Its a 292(block # EDB 6015e) thats been bored to 3.800", and stroked to 3.605". Its got forged eagle pistons and H-beam rods. The bottom end has been assembled with clevite bearings, clearances have been checked, and rings have been file fitted. Pistons have been fly cut. It has an upgraded timing chain too. Has a Comp Cam solid lifter cam kit(cam, lifters, double springs, retainers); I don't know the cam specs, but you can send the cam to Mummert and for a nominal fee he will measure and give you all the specs; although I'm guessing by the fly cut pistons is the more aggressive cams CompCams offers for the yblock. The heads(#5752 113) have been rebuilt, and have new stainless steel valves, that if I recall are over sized. The rocker arms have all been shimmed for perfect alignment. The heads are not on the motor currently. Also have new ceramic coated fenderwell headers that go with it too. I've got the complete gasket kit, and most if not all of the other parts(water pump housing, valve covers, valley cover), although Im not sure if I still have an intake for it. Im also willing to ship it, and have had good luck with Fastenal(you pick it up at your nearest store); but only after payment has cleared.
I bought this from a very reputable engine dealer/builder out of state(he dealt specifically in older hot rod motors, not just y-blocks), and he had great feedback, but I have since lost his contact. Im not an engine builder, but I have no problem letting you check out the motor and confirming anything you want on it, and if your local I can even take it to a machine shop of your choice to have them check it out if you would like.
Im asking $3500obo(PRICE DROP, $2900), which if you have priced out a comparable Y-block build, you know is a steal; as that is not too far off of what just the rotating assembly costs when you consider the cost of a good ecz 312 crank core. I may consider reasonable offers, and will entertain trades up/down/across for: fresh 700r4, complete LS motor/trans, Must2 air ride shockwaves, air ride control systems, neon signs, petroliana, motorcycles(all types/eras), sporting/self-defense goods, small vintage boats, or ???? You can call or text me at NINEsevenTWO-989-4OO3

Looks to be a well done & an interesting engine & possibly worth your asking. However, doing the math ( I could stand to be corrected? ) the quoted displacement should be approx. 327cu.", not 344 cu ".

Crap, I may have been using the wrong formula... I was thinking it was bore(3.8) x Pi(3.14xxxx), x stroke(3.605), x cylinders(8)= 344.xxxx
I just punched it into an online displacement calculator, and got 327, so you are probably correct, I'm just not sure where I went wrong... Edit, I just remembered Pi is the ratio of diameter to circumference....

Pi times radius squared gets you the area of a circle (3.14 x 1.9 x 1.9) which is 11.34
Multiply that by 3.605 to get volume of a cylinder which is 40.86
Multiply that by 8 to get total which is 327

Just a side note. Unfortunate that it comes out at 327 which is bound to cause some confusion. And I believe one of Mummerts stroker kits uses a 3.61" stroke, which is close but not the same. I believe that would work out to about 331 cu. in..

Its possible its not a Mummert kit, or its possible its 3.61 not 3.605 stroke; I don't have the tools to accurately measure that(I'm going off of what I was told). I would be happy to meet any serious buyer at a local machine shop to get everything checked out. Or if anybody wants to come by and bring whatever measurement tools(I've got all the other basic tools) you would like I'm 100% ok with that too. Or if your a serious buyer who is not local(because I am willing to ship it freight), I can take it to a local machine shop or engine builder of your choice(perhaps one trusted by forum members) and let them go over it for you.
The guy I bought this motor from purchased this, and several other Y-blocks from an estate(then finished assembling the short block), hence the reason the cam specs, and the origin of the rotating assembly is unknown.

When I called on this, it was SOLD. That is why the original poster should come back and edit their add with a sold sign to stop the questions.
***** Joe. Thanks for drawing attention to this. I've simply put SOLD at the beginning of the title which will fix that. Getting everyone to do the same when items are sold though is a whole 'nother category. Ted. *****
