Title: Here's another one!

Nothing to do with me, although I have been to the Volo museum.

The seller claims 250 HP from a 3.1 V6.

I have an email off to the owner.

Here's the reply:

This engine has been bored out, cam, the heads worked over, and dialed in. It it a great driver with over double the factory HP.

Interesting.  Factory was 140 HP.  My math puts double at 280--not 250.

I think the stereo amplifier might be closer to 250 in number than the engine.  There's no turbo on the engine and no nitrous.  Someone's smoking.  I'd want to see a dyno ticket on this one.

He sent some further emails, but something is off.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but someone will be in for a dissappointment.
