Here is the deal.
I have several motors that I could build. I am working on quite a few 356's now. I would like to figure out if I could make a few bucks by building, testing, (leak down and compression, no dyno) and selling these motors complete. If the value is there, I will do it. Otherwise I will sell each item on ebay. I am testing the waters here. Rich |

My vote needs to be changed
I agree with Kevin By using low mileage "good" heads your really only saleing a rebuilt short block there is no way I would assume "low" mileage heads where not abused and that a seat might drop well before your 100000 mile life span and why would you go back with a stock cam, reground or not, when a few mild after market cams work better than factory with stock injection, let alone those who run carbs what about the crank? check micro polish? fly wheel? reground ? whole assembly with clutch balanced? oil cooler ? new? flushed? but with that being said my vote should be lowered to 1-2K as you describe |
