Re: ?'s bout a 2 liter motor

["Bill Scarince" <scarince@gte.net>]

I got my 9A engine from a junk yard for $750.  It had ~ 45K miles.  They
*delivered it to my house*.  It was guaranteed for 30 days.  It came
w/injectors, manifolds, distributor, but that's about it.  I've had no luck
selling my 1.8 block or the 2L head.  I'll bet there are 500 garages in the
US that have that head & block combo laying in some dark corner.

$600 doesn't sound so bad.......
