MIKE, $1500! absolutely not - you should sell it to me

seriously i know that you know your way around an engine ,small blocks anyway,but listen the STOCK big blocks closely, especially cold. they had a poor design cast piston with metal inserts near the pins that would crack. Listen for those cracked piston skirts. NYUG,NYUG ,NYUG down deep inside at an idle and if you rap the throttle you'll hear them clatter as the engine deccelerates.. DAVE
