Thanks for posting this...

Final sales price, for those interested in what five skanky old shakin jakes are worth on the free market.

US $3,851.00

I wonder if any of those were the old ECAT sloppy Jakes?

Whats the Stretch torque on the crankshaft bolt again, Was it .012"?

ZuluEcho,

No it wasnt me, it will be interesting to see if these surface in Australia somehow, or if they are parted out and resold in the US?

But it still seemed a reasonably buy of 5 engines worth of parts at an average of $600USD each?
