Very respectable job. The engine that it's hanging onto looks like a grenade was placed on top of it.


How many hours do you have in it? ~Joshua

I plan to have brand new LSx water pumps in the box for $375 fully polished like chrome.

Is that a good price? People can have the pulley chromed for more $ if they wanted the extra.
