If anybody is looking at buying Ted's 400 engine I can tel you it is (or at least was) everything Brian says it is. Ted let me use his Pilot at Coal Creek - I went for a fairly long ride and the power was good everywhere in the rev range. If the engine is still the same as it was then, it's a goodie!
LOL, it's the same just had a fresh top end done about 10hrs (running) ago. To feel it the way it's meant to be, it needs to be mated to the extras it has on, like the exhuast, carb, intake and dual air intake. Ted's no slouch when it comes to the body size department, and it scoots right along with him in it!
Think I'll quote this thread when I eBay it...Thanks Brendan!!!
