New Aluminator, a deal for someone

[Spectragod]

Not mine, thought I would post as many are going this route.

[Shaijack]

That looks interesting.....Wondering..... ..

[dohc324ci]

Great deal!

[DOOM]

10:1 compression ratio!

NOT FOR SUPERCHARGER APPLICATIONS!!!

Their words not mine!

[DEFYANT]

Yeah, and?

[dohc324ci]

Low compression sucks! I am running 10:1 and built for low to moderate boost. It's really in the tune.

[Spectragod]

Low compression sucks! I am running 10:1 and built for low to moderate boost. It's really in the tune.

Yep, I'm 10.5:1 with 13lbs of boost and no issues. And that motor will be just fine on boost too.

[brightmd]

As a newbe to this deal, what has to be changed for an automatic application as it states for manual transmission?

Like I said. Their words NOT MINE!

My point was I don't know why they put that qoute in there!

My buddy NATEHAWK has an aluminator with 10:1 compression making about 500RWHP on HIGH BOOST!!! :burnout:

[DEFYANT]

They (Ford) just don't want to warranty this motor under boost applications. Were it not for that 20 sumoodd yr old Mustang in the garage, I'd pounce on this!

[MOTOWN]

I wonder if its a real aluminator, or something he built himself??

[Spectragod]

I'd guess the real deal, it appears to be a Ford dealer selling it.

[lji372]

can someone tell me what is so great about the aluminator :stupid:

[MOTOWN]

I'd guess the real deal, it appears to be a Ford dealer selling it.

No this guy is in Livonia, Mi ive bought parts from him in the past, just wondering if its one he built himself:confused:

[MOTOWN]

can someone tell me what is so great about the aluminator :stupid:
Well its a forged motor (the way the mm should have been built) forged pistons, H beam rods, and a forged crank!

very nice engine! i was about to order one before i lucked up on a Trilogy!

[Mercguy04]

MMMMM Built with current available parts. "Photos and specs may var."
I wonder what that means??????

[nh muscle]

I have an alluminator with the Trillogy 435 rwhp w stock headers the motor can handle 700 HP @ the crank. Shipped its a 1000 less than retail. If your on the fence make the jump!!!

[lji372]

so pretty much the same as rebuilding it right? wouldn't one be better off just to send off to lidio to be bored & stroked and filled with the forged essentials.

[illwood]

As a newbe to this deal, what has to be changed for an automatic application as it states for manual transmission?

It must come with a flywheel and you would need to swap that for a flexplate to connect to the torque converter on an auto.

It should be a significantly stronger block than the stock Marauder block and would be a better starting point for a high power application.

Our blocks can take up to 1000hp. If you can find a good local engine builder, get a price. That Aluminator is a great deal, but, they normally cost a lot more than that and it's rare to find deals like this one.

[BODYMAN]

This is a great deal. Like others said if on the fence Id jump on it. I got one with around 2500 miles on it for 4400 shipped so this is a steal. Just wish it was around when I bought mine...

[dohc324ci]

Bingo $7100 is usually what they go for.

[O's Fan Rich]

That's the one motor that went under Trilogy #132..... I paid a little more than that including shipping.

[Spectragod]

Actually, I think Lidio will build a better motor than the Aluminator. :beer:

I absolutely concur with you! :beer:

[dohc324ci]

^^if you have the coin. If not its a great price for a built long block.

[BODYMAN]

Yes but this $$$$$ also becomes a very large factor.. When were talking a Alluminator for 4700ish shipped.

[MyBlackBeasts]

very nice engine! i was about to order one before i lucked up on a Trilogy!

Which makes me wonder what kind of ?scam? this guy is running... Claims it is an Aluminator but in next line says it has hypereutectic pistons?!?!?! What am I missing...

My point exactly! somethin aint right with this one:confused: i didnt see the part about hyperutectic pistons

[guspech750]

Instead of all this blah blah blah.

Why not just send the seller an email. And see what they have to say about the motor.

Thats exactly what i did Bud! waiting on a response:P

[SGT_MERC]

I got some info from the seller. He said the motor was purchased 2 yrs ago as a display model and there is no warranty.

[MOTOWN]

He just emailed me and said the motor came from ford racing, and was assembled at the Romeo engine plant.

[guspech750]

Well, sounds as if all is good. I can dream right?

No warranty on an engine that isn't complete and never been cranked? Sounds legit. :beer:

[RacerX]

No warranty on an engine that isn't complete and never been cranked? Sounds legit. :beer:
Sitting around for that long, it would need a pre lube through the oil pressure sender hole to lube everything up. Start that like it is, it'll likely seize or hurt the bearings and cam journals.

[Spectragod]

No warranty on an engine that isn't complete and never been cranked? Sounds legit. :beer:

No warranty if it is new either, read the boards, look at all the killed Aluminators, warranty's have been refused on more than one. Also, if Lidio builds you a motor, guess what, no warranty.

These things are going to get S/C'd, ran the hell out of, I wouldn't warranty that either.

[LANDY]

The thing about mod motors is once the rings are seated they are ready for a beatdown. If they hold up they are good if not they will show it. After that if something goes wrong its usually due to bad running or negligence.

I would if I was interested in buying but as I'm not its just conversation for me. :beer:

If anyone is contemplating purchase, contact the seller & let us know what he says. :)

[MyBlackBeasts]

My point exactly! somethin aint right with this one:confused: i didnt see the part about hyperutectic pistons

1st it says "PISTONS NOT DESIGNED FOR SUPER CHARGER APPLICATION" which I would interpret as having hyperutectic pistons as if they were forged it would be a non-issue but further down it says "Forged pistons" so I have no idea what he is selling... :shake:

Will be interesting what is found out if someone contacts the seller. :eek:

[MyBlackBeasts]

He just emailed me and said the motor came from ford racing, and was assembled at the Romeo engine plant.

I think from the replies & info in listing he is just going to great lengths to seperate himself & sale from any implied/inferred warranty or buyer issues/claims if it were to fail.

I'd say, sounds like a great deal, go for it! I would but just purchased #242 & need wallet to recover a bit. :burnout:

[RacerX]

They ARE forged. Just 10.1:1 cr, which, is prone to detonation when sc'd if not tuned right. Ford is covering their butts is all. It's a great deal for what it is.

[Mercguy04]

Frankly Gentleman, This guy has all sorts of Ford parts in his inventory.
The engine he is selling (in question) is " Photo and Specs may Var. ????
What does that mean. I asked the question before and no one wants to answer.
This guy says it's 2yrs old, who knows how old it really is? Did Ford build
Aluminators at the Romeo plaint, or were they Termanators? I don't remember which.
Third, If the engine is so low priced then why not have it disasmebled and checked out
for balanced, forged parts and all the other aspects concerning this type engine.
Some how I think a display engine is exactly that a display.
One guy suggested prelubing the engine before first start. Good Ideal.
If Lido, Zack or who ever builds engines for you tell you it is ok then I would trust to them rather than some guy for ebay whos sole purpose is to sell you an engine that is not warrented. At the very least take it apart and look it over before investing in other parts like a blower or other add ons. If your engine builder says the engine is ok then
problem solved. end of discussion. I would never trust some one else opinion on something like this with out some sort of checking it out first. That is why my engines
last so long and run so good. Best of luck to all concerned.

No,No like stated all FRPP motors with 10.1 will say for not S/C application due to comp ratio. This motor has all the good internals just like the 8.5:1 Alluminators. As for this motor as long as all ports were covered up when on display I wouldnt have any fear of the motor. As for warranty like Spectragod stated it's built for high HP & gonna get rode hard all builders have this disclaimer. Frankly I wouldnt think twice had this come about when I built my car.

Agreed! Guys i think this motor is Legit! im on the fence, but im recovering from the Trilogy effect as well!:(

So cash is a little tight, but i think its a great deal for someone:banana2:

[BUCKWHEAT]

10:1 compression ratio!

NOT FOR SUPERCHARGER APPLICATIONS!!!

Their words not mine!

We here all know the higher compression is best with a S/C to get our heavy cars moving early in the powerband. That's why Lidio built me a stroker with slightly higher C/R than comes on this Aluminator. This is a great buy for a MM owner with S/C and a stock block, or for a normally aspirated MM with a tired engine.

Good buy for someone here!

[Mercguy04]

Best of Luck with your purchase.
I hope all turns out for the best.

[CBT]

After reading all the input, I guess it does sound like a deal. Wonder if someone here gets it. It would be neat to see if it was worth it/held up.

[boatmangc]

I have 20,000 boosted miles on my N/A Aluminator.
Mine has an ID tag on it that says Ford Racing, Romeo Plant.

I paid $6800 for mine.
If I had the bux or more importantly a place to store it I would pick it up just to have.

Unfourtunately it didnt! the seller sent me an email saying he decided to use it in a project, and that it was no longer for sale.

So i may just order a new one in the crate since ive got my mind set on one, but im going to take a few days and figure out my next move.
