Have you ever thought that some guys made their living by parting perfectly running cars just because they are worth more in parts than as a whole.

With easily removed aftermarket tuning parts I always remove them and put back to standard when selling my cars, but is a sound short block assy worth much more in bits ?.

When I was looking for a 2.7 engine I was advised to buy a cheap car and break it, as it happens an engine turned up before a suitable car did. Same advice re a 3.0 crank, I just wondered what is usually left and has to be scrapped ?.

I wouldn't sell them if I couldn't back them up. Come on Lart. You have bought parts from me. Sold the set for $100. Have a few more sets and a set of pauter rods avail for a lot more. brian944turbo@att.net
