Default Looking for n/a shortblock/ longblock for the Dragon

well we got hosed at the Lemons event- so be it. We need a new motor to get the dragon running and the sooner the better. I can go through anything we get but it needs to be decent or running. Who has one and how much? Donations welcome!

FWIW: I have a good NA motor w/ 89K miles - verified perfect bores/good valves - head is off. Asking $300 FOB California, but open to offers.

Sucks to hear that Dan. I'd be unhappy too if that is how it went down. Your car did look too nice though!

Hope it comes back better than ever...
