COPO engine? 19N606059 on eBay

[talwell]

He sent me a few pictures of the engine pad and the rear. The first thing that bothered me was the "E" portion of the BE. It looks very artificial - besides this, the rear is most certainly a restamp in my eyes given that instead of having the "E" stamp signifying it is an Eaton Posi, it has an H stamp.

Also, the engine block certainly looks decked given the position of the water pump to the block, the cross etching lines on the pad and the configuration of the stampings on the pad. When is the last time you saw such a mint condition pad that was not decked? That pad should show some pitting and deterioration as the way it shows now it looks like it was just decked.

Either this guy got ripped off (told me he wont sell for less than $20k) or he is trying to join the likes of topvalue2007 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Here are the pics that I received:
