If so, what kind of numbers should I expect to see? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I think there is one for sale in the Parts For Sale Forum.

Price may seem a bit high but then ask yourself if the guy (or his surroundings) seems like the type who'd go to all the work of JUST PAINTING an engine like that and then try and sell it as a rebuilt or refreshed?
I mean if 'I' was going to the effort to make it all look that good I'd go ahead and do the mechanical while I had it apart.
If he's already building something else then He's a builder not a scammer. But that's really why it's your decision or I guess as they say down your way "trigger to pull".
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

There's really not much "HiPo" about a Stovebolt anyway. That's what all the "yo bro, peep these spinnaz & LED ashtray mounts" forums are for.
Respectfully submitted,

I appreciate the input and understand it's my decision to make. What I'm looking for is the "I'd offer $xxx" or " check the xxx for xxx" type advice since you guys are more familiar with these engines. I agree this is no longer relevant in the HiPo forum, but it all started with a LS swap conversation  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 285 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2015 Posts: 285 | I'm headed to Austin tomorrow morning. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 924 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 924 | And...
