how much horsepower would you say that 50+ cubic inches would translate too?
Probably 30 to 40 HP given all things equal.
Just a guess.

that was my thoughts as well...... what would the cost be to get 40hp out of a mild 350 with world products s/r 1.94 valve heads? My thoughts would be more head at about the cost of 1200-1500 dollars, which is what im looking to get from the seller.....
I think im being more than fair. If im not someone please voice your opinions
With the correct tech supporting documentation, all email documentation, and phone records etc, the judge will likely give it to you.
Should the seller do the right thing he would square up with you and make sure the economics equal his documented representation of the goods; and accordingly go back to the prior owner if misrepresentation occured there as well.
If the seller does not make the deal equal to what he advertised and represented, I would file suit locally in small claims court. The costs are relatively low and you could represent yourself.
If you have everything in order, you will win.

he seems to be willing to work with me.... he offered me the 400 from the Monte Carlo i traded him in exchange for the 350 in the c10... but he wants me to come to him 10+ hours each way to make the swap.... i work 6 days a week and have no accumulated vacation time nor do i have a truck or a hoist to pull this engine, nor do i feel like i should have to make that trip.... he said he isn't going to confront the original seller as he is "happy with their trade" and doesn't feel the need to.... not sure of the meaning behind that....
I asked him for 1500 which he says he doesnt have at this point. So I asked him how close he could come.... we will see....
Scorp,
how would one go about filing a claim with someone out of state? and what state would one file in as i am in VA and he is in OH. Assuming we cant come to an agreeable resolution.....
I am not an expert but I have done a bit of research. Usually you cant sue a party in your home state if they aren't a resident nor operate a business there. Historically you would go to their home state to file suit.
And of course they were always betting you wouldn't.
However with the proliferation of the Internet and on-line selling, state case law has in some instances taken the position that the seller is running a business in all 50 states, so bang, you can file suit in your home state. Check Michigan as an example state.
So I would file suit in VA, and specify that he does business in VA by virtue of his Internet business. They should let you file there, and then he has to come to you to defend.
If he doesnt show, default judgement and then request the judgement be transferred to his state, for either outright collection or wages garnishment.
Forum users, feel free to correct me where I am wrong, but my research generally supports this position.
Its going to cost him more than $1500 after you win in court which you should given the advertised 406 is a stock 350.
