I owned the car for 20+ years. When I sold it I had the buyer sign a statement of origin. I did so to protect me and my agent.

It IS all they say it is, but it is not 2166.

Now you know.

If not 2166, is it a scam listing?

Fantastic. I look forward to hear what tuning and the Dyno show.

Nice

Ford bolt pattern 5 x 4-1/2

As you can see, the spoke diameter is about 12" 👆

I thought I was looking for 15 x 7" wheels. I found out that the wheel I want is a unique 7-1/4" width wheel that is an oddball in the 200s lineup. Everything about this wheel is different than the 7" wheel..

All candidates considered.

Who made these? Were they originally commissioned by Branda?

From the FB post I lifted the picture from;

Love the known history

Any one recognize this car?

SOHC engine had to be a tight fit.

Well it found me, it appears my life's journey is to spend money...... ha

What is the saying? Pay once, cry once.

Main caps came too?

I really don't want to get into it because it will only make me angry, listing my  Shelby number (853) in my profile was enough for the middle man to find me. 

Sounds like you and @wcampbell have the same story.

Consider my situation...a fellow "owner" and "car guy" knows where my engine is and talks to the current owner occasionally - who calls him asking if he's interested in negotiating for the engine. Despite this he isn't willing to let me talk directly to the engine owner even when I offered a "fee" if a deal to get the engine back materialized. Instead he's trying to buy the engine and then deal directly with me. While I'm okay with that too- he doesn't seemed to be interested making this happen to help me reunite the two. So I'm stuck knowing it's out there and potentially available, but a fellow "hobbyist" is blocking me and isn't allowing it to happen. This is almost the total opposite of your scenario.

This story is the more frustrating scenario.  🤬

427 Hunter, did you share how the seller of the block and you came together?

I mean, for all he knew it was a K-code block only. Was he the former owner of your car? That would help explain how he knew it belonged to your car.

Just curious on the back story.
