they got the wrong pic and upgrade options for the ebay ad unless upgrading to a gen1 sbc is your intention.

Hey:

CNC Motorsports, is a machine shop/parts discount warehouse that sells volume close outs, and has some of the lowest prices on the net. I would call them before I bought that to make sure they have it all in stock the way you want it. I purchased a heads, cam and intake kit from them that was $800 less than the same thing from Summit, that was the previous cheapest place to find it. I used to buy from Summit quite often, but I always check CNC 1st now, if they have it in stock, I get it from them, and it is always cheaper, sometimes it is a lot cheaper. They don't always have everything I need, and may not have it again for the same price listed when they get it back in stock. They Used to be The Place for Pro Products stuff, I just don't know if they still are. But you must call them before ordering or it will get put on back order till they get it. I would recommend them easily, if you call in your order and confirm its the right part and on hand.

I bought 1.65 rockers from CNC that measured as 1.6 and they didn't care. Obviously the sell Chinese garbage, but they then go the extra step and don't care when it is wrong
