Are you f-ing kidding me?!!?
What happened to that motor?! Oil all over the valve cover, and its missing parts in the cam assembly and a belt tensioner arm? Seriously?
With the engine missing critical parts like that and looking like that, how can we be assured its any good? Oh wait, the thrust bearing checks out, phew... Hahaha

That supercharger setup looks awfully familiar (and crappy)...

Ha, I just noticed that the pic I attached looks like a later model block, but has a custom mechanical fan on it... Thats weird... Plug wires aren't right either. (That pic was from 928s4vr.com by the way)

It looks like an unfinished project with an unassembled engine mocked up for the photo. Of interest is the refence to Kelly Moss Motorsports, which has nothing at all to do with the Ebay item. Their website does show a very nice looking 928 engine with individual throttle bodies, dry sump and a serious exhaust. It's a shame that KMM has to be brought to light by a questionable Ebay ad having nothing at all to do with them but oh well. BTW, nowhere on their website does it say 825 hp as in the Ebay ad.
My favorite line: "The super charger is set up for a stand alone Engine Management system." This is similar to your bank account being set up for a large amount of money.

I thought the Kelly Moss engine was around 700hp.....a carbon copy of the old Bob Devore engine

The fan on you pic makes perfect sense. The early 32V engines (’85 & ’86) had a mechanical fan!

The plugs on your pic must be connected to an aftermarket ignition system, cause there are no distributors in front of the cam gears.

I’ve seen intake manifolds like the one on the e-bay engine. It’s an upper intake manifold for the 302 (5.0L) Mustang made by Trick-Flow, installed in reverse. The additional injector setup is quiet common too.

The extra injectors UPSTREAM of the SC is not such a good idea.
When the blow-off valve opens then you're dumping hot compressed air AND fuel.

yes, but only if its an open loop system. If the blow-off vavle is set up to recirculate the air into the intake, then everythign stays in the system.
