Quoting: art b

is that a good thing.....

It is when I end up $800 to the better Art mate.

His first offer was $2000.

I countered with $3200.

He countered with $2500.

I said $2800, he said DEAL!

to a new owner!! Sold her tonight! Fella called, we dickered a bit, and I let her go for $2800. ($1200 more than I paid for her almost 4 years ago and 26,000 more miles on the clock than when I bought her) so who says motors depreciate!?!?!

What about this....

It only requires about 3.5" between the carb and hood.

Hello, matey - hope all's well with you.

Everythings great Dean.

Been busy as feck the last couple a weeks but it's slowing down now.

I had to fit a new (used with 22,000 miles) lump in my brother-in-laws 2000 toyota pickup. Had burnt valves in #3 and at least 2 rods knocking. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and will take care of this motor.

I picked up (towed in) a 1984 Olds Firenza Estate as abandoned at work and after the 30 day waiting period asked the boss for the car to fix up for my daughter. It only has 42,000 on the clock and is clean as a whistle. Had to fit a new water pump and head gasket as apparently the pump went out and they ran it hot and blew the head gasket.

Bought me a new (used with 17,000 on the clock) 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. I figured it was time for ME to get something out of my hard work. LOL

BTW, Chris' part is headed your way. I didn't have his post addy so I sent it to you. I figured you wouldn't mind passing it on to him for me.

Where is this guy located??

Maybe someone a bit closer could get an answer to where the motor is.

Maybe he needs a little friendly persuasion....

Not bad if you're in to crotch rockets.

Looks in pretty good condition actually, especially for the milage.

Prefer bikes you don't lay down on the gas tank to ride myself.

62% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
36% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

Now 2 are thru customs and the 3rd is still over the Atlantic I guess.

I posted them all at the same time, but they took 2 different planes.
