Selling carbs to pan, less headers and motor plates.
OK...$5500 and that's as low as I go. Come on, guys. Help me out here. I really need to sell this so I can get on with my next project.

Steelcomp, you should go on dragboats.com and look in the (parts wanted)
section. there is a guy that smoked his motor looking for bbc stuff. maybe you could get him hooked up. Sounds like all he has left is a block!

Damn can't believe nobody's jumped on this yet, guess evrybody is broke!.. :D

I guess selling a "used" motor, no matter how good, isn't easy. I don't really blame people...5.5K is 5.5K, no matter how you slice it, it's a chunk of change. I guess I'm just going to have to part it out. :notam: :coffeycup
