motor
Don't know much about 350 engines but I know it only runs good on racing fuel, it sounds like a jet engine, it sucks fuel like its going out of style, and it will burn all 4 tires off. I don't really care any how just letting ya know its getting sold to my buddy anyhow.
wheel
Since everyone liked these so much thought id post a close up pick. These are actually really nice rims there over 2 inches thick of aluminum. Better than a tractor trailer rim. Thinking of powder coating them black so they don't stick out so much.
Didn't really realize that's all I had gotten. Hadn't really looked at the paperwork since I got it untill now. Was just to excited to have a real military humvee I guess. But no biggey ill figure something out. Even if I have to buy a titled body to get my title.
wow hold your horses
Im going for mileadge and power. If I wanted to just burn the tires off I would just leave the hot rod motor in. I want miles per gallon not gallons per mile. I will be raising the hp but I will balance horsepower with mileage for the perfect mix.
paperwork
What I received in paperwork is a notorized bill of sale from the state of Louisiana parish of Beauregard. I also received a notorized act of donation as I also did some trading.
ford huh
Well its a nice reliable engine ill give you that. Owned two and never had to do anything but a fuel filter and alternator. Now the bad thing about them they take alot of juice to start, they guzzle fuel (18 mpg), and the high end power sucks. A 4bt will pulpit backwards without trying...

I put the price because there's so many people on here trying to get a humvee for 10k or less and I wanted to show what 25k bought me and outs not just a frame and shell it runs and drives as is all it would need to be on the road right now would be the lights hooked up I just don't want to...
The guys from fort poll were a investigation team looking for some humvees that got stolen from the base they ran the numbers on this one and said that it had been purchased with many others by an individual for scrap the units were to be destroyed but the guy sold some of them instead even...
I got it from a private seller near fort poll and the guys from fort polk said it wasn't stolen it was bought legally from the government I got a bill of sale and some other forms ill look them over when I get home and post exactly what I've got

Don't judge a book by its cover the frame is perfect and rust free the drive train is solid. It runs and drives as is although I will change the current drive train out as the person I received it from built hot rods for a living and put a soiled up bored out 350 in it with...
