    Alright guys here's the scoop, guy is selling a 40th gt and now is a gtp. Motor won't start. It has headers, pulley drop, tune, Pistons have been changed and I assume a cam. I checked for spark "good". I check for fuel "40psi" in rail. Motor cranks and cranks no fire.. I can't even get it to stumble.. Anyone have anything else I can check and see if I can get it to fire? He is asking 600$ lol and input is better then none.

    Run away if someone touched the bottom end, that motor won't last 100 miles.


    Otherwise check to see if you even have the plug wires on right.

    If you're looking for a car to drive, don't get it.

    If you're looking for a parts car/project, and you have a spare short block, the tools/space to pull the engine and mount it on a stand, 500 bucks for a few mods and a pretty purple car isn't bad.
