I think its a conspiracy! Right after I buy something for the shark it shows up cheapier on rennlist a few days later. After I buy new tires and rims somebody here will unload the samething for 1/3 the price. It happens everytime, definately a pattern showing now. Just have to connect the dots.

I think to trick this type of evil. I need to announce I finally bought something (but didn't), wait for the cheapier part to hit the list a few days later and ****** it up in a classic reverse false flag buying operation.

Why is that such a "Killer Deal"??

When I have offered my complete '85 EURO motor WITH both computers for about the same total as the above - no one was interested...

Mark, I suppose the difference between a 500-dollar 5l block locally and a 2k engine in FLA, is huge. While I'd love to have that motor, I can't afford to drop the 2.5k (300 - 500 shipping) on a motor.... Nice thing about the 5l block is that it is right for supercharging or stroking, has thick cylinder walls.

I do - but I'm not 100% on selling it. Sure does feel nice that - WORST CASE - I have a complete spare motor if don't do the track project.

have you flycut the pistons to fit the euro valves???

I wonder if you havent, whether this can be done in the block. when i did mine, it was still off from the machine shop so about 1mm hit the valves. I grinded down the rest with an air grinder and didnt get the engine too dirty (taped off most of the areas that could be effected by small metal pieces)
