Just noticed a fresh built 235 on e-bay that someone may be interested in. Item number 2495158084. Seems kinda high to me, but I have never paid for an overhaul before. My turn is comming.

Not surprising, it is my opinion that if you want to know what you have you do it yourself, and if you want to buy a rebuilt engine, you expect to pay a lot less than the cost of rebuilding it yourself unless it is done by a professional and comes with a warranty. Too much "buyer beware" out there. This one looks really good and the guy sounds like he's pretty straight up, but how do we know he didn't try to weld a crack in the block or something, or just not know the proper way to torque the head?

I thought the angled dump was to go in the rear, to bolt to the stock exhaust, and the straight dump up front. It sure is a nice looking piece. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 384 | Yep--hope he got all the bits in right--always strange to see a home built engine go immediately on sale w/o bein run. Quite pretty tho  Ive seen headers either way--if ya gotta generator--angled front is necessary--alternator rig it either way usually.
