Sweeet deal. How many hours?

[blackhawk]

Approximately 250 hours. Engine runs perfect I'm just replacing it with something bigger! This could be a nice upgrade for those that have a 4.3 or a tired small block in their 16 or 18.

Motor is on ebay.

AARRGG! :kaioken: :kaioken: I didn't pay close enough attention to the end of bidding time. Sold for $2,550.01. Someone got a good deal.

Just say N2O, this is also a fairly good deal. Considering the drive alone would cost you an arm and a leg.

The 270 would certainly sell by itself here to resto minds... :yes:

And then you would have a new 4 bolt 350 to start with.

Lenny,

Thanks for the heads up. I saw that earlier this week. I am considering a "Non-Donzi" project (I know, why?), and I am going to be looking for a small block chevy and a Berkeley jet pump. I live in Grand Rapids, just about 90 miles south of Cadillac where Blackhawk is. That would have been convenient.

I don't think a stern drive would work for what I am considering doing.

[blackhawk]

N20, I wish you would have paid closer attention too! Being so close would have been VERY convenient for both of us. :yes:

Blackhawk,

Its a funny thing. As computer literate as I am, this was only the second item I have ever "watched" on ebay. I'm sure ebay must have things that will give you alerts regarding the end of a bidding session. Truthfully, I have been focused on getting our 31 Express ready to launch (which it finally did). I had the port engine and V-drive rebuilt over the winter and had to reinstall them, along with about 16 hours worth of other stuff.

The storage place had already given me a week and a half of grace because I had been working consistently on the projects (I also installed central air, new mufflers, and a bunch of other smaller projects) through out the winter.

That had been taking up most of my mental space, so I wasn't as attentive as I normally would have been. If the sale doesn't go through for some reason, let me know.

N20, I know how it goes!

You will be the first to know if something happens with the current transaction.
