I am working on a 73 1.7 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) and was looking around ebay for parts. I came across an auction for this company selling engines. Does anybody have any experience with these guys. It looks like I can get a new big bore with 2.0 heads and other goodies for $2,575.00. I don't intend to send my old engine back for core deposit so that would be my total. This seems like a good deal. Here is the link for the site. Is there anywhere on the east coast that can beat this deal? I'm in Atlanta GA.
leopard III big bore 2.0 for $2575.00 Thanks Paul |

WHOO HOO!!!!
Do a search on this one, fella! You'll find more than enough info. Mass production kills these engines! The PARTS to do that longblock correctly sell for more than the cost of that entire engine. |

this comes up a few times a year I think... do a search, someone here even bought one and it was trash before it was even in the car...
Jake is the way to go, and is in your neck of the woods... |
