610whp on 91 Octane. Tuned for E85 and 91 Octane
$22k FIRM
No trades
“Is this still available” will be ignored
I bought this car stock 2014 with roughly 22,000 miles and it does have a salvage title due to low water intrusion into the cabin, never reached the bottom of the seats. Car was restored and inspected and I drove it as it was for about 2 years before the engine swap.
Having said that, let’s be real….with the amount of work that has been done to this car just about every part of the car car has been gone over, replaced or upgraded including all electrical. So if you’re worried about a flood title, this car is probably not for you.
Car has been swapped since late 2015 at around 31,000 miles and currently is sitting at 36,192. Dynod 610 whp on 91 Octane but is set up for E85 as well (No dyno numbers on E85) Only driven in the summer in North Dakota so not a ton of miles on the swap since summers are super short. All parts were new when installed and have roughly 5,000 miles on them with a forged bottom end. All fluids freshly changed (Engine, trans and diff).
Car is ready to drive and is 99% complete. Only items left to complete is to bring power to the original ECU to have a working tach (if that matters to you) the trigger wheel is machined onto the harmonic balancer, otherwise the Aeroforce gauge shows RPM’s. A/C works but needs the trigger wire connected in the cabin (most likely will be done by the time cars sells). Also including a 2.55 pulley with belt and accessory pulley.
More than 30k invested not including labor and cost of the car. Relatively firm on price but shoot an offer. Worst I can say is no.
High level list of parts that most people care about. Does not include all the little stuff that adds up. Lots of pics available from the build. I’m sure I’m forgetting something so ask if you have questions.

Salvage title…seems if you were going to put this much effort and expense you’d get a car without a salvage title to make selling and insuring not such a pain. I also wonder why go through the effort and expense to build it then sell it? Seems to me like this is a bad ass ride (salvage title or otherwise) and if I put in the effort to make it this nice I’d want to hang on to it for a long while and enjoy my handiwork.
And w/out even looking, let me guess…. no A/C?
As a southerner that’s the 1st “accessory” I look for in these types of builds. “A/C works but needs the trigger wire connected in the cabin (most likely will be done by the time cars sells).”
No mention of rear diff upgrades. That’s the first thing you will be picking up off the ground!
