Great when any Factory Stamping Original HiPo Engine surfaces, especially when car known/existing!
10-thou seems right on but whatever the #, hopefully both seller & buyer can make it happen.
Otherwise, lots of great points from all sides but OP starting w/ a for sale thread indeed what set things off also other than not wanting to buck up, his postings seemed reasonable and he did offer the C-note when prompted…so, bummer the way things ended up but best we learn from the experience if possible?
As others have noted, we don’t want to miss one-time posters w/ parts/info to share so all being as simple as possible important also considering age of many who lived these cars new, easily found help posting comments/questions/pictures etc.
Best of luck to subject buyer and seller also long live the sYc!
