I'm looking to clean out my garage and have some stock parts laying around I'd like to get rid of. I don't want to bother shipping this stuff so figured I'd post it up here for cheap and if it doesn't sell it will just collect dust lol.
Stock ls1 heads and cam with 9000 miles on them....$75 They need cleaned up because they got pulled and put in the boxes my AFR heads came in. They've been sitting that way for 3 years.
stock pulley...$20
stock torque converter with 12,000 miles...$25

idk who nelson is but is it that red gto running around boone?
The guy that drove that blue evo traded it in cuz he had a rod knocking due to him constantly beating the hell out of it lol. And how are you pulling 175mph in 3rd gear?!

25.7" tires+2.73 gears out back +1:1 gear ratio for the tranny in third gear. http://golenengineservice.com/calc/calcmph.htm punch in the numbers rodney if you dont believe me. Yeah fastenuf its the red 6.0 that runs around with the tinted windows. Im not surprised that jason had to get rid of that car. I know when i raced him he did 6K clutch dumps from a dig. Thats the only way he beat your brother lol

yeah dave im fstenuf's brother. i raced him in my old lt1. that evo ripped me out of the whole got about 2-3 cars on me and that was it i didnt pull on him and he wasnt pullin away. but i spanked that gto pretty bad in my new car, i posted it in the track kill stories, raced from a 20 mph roll and by about 130 i had about 4 legths on him. i never got to race the evo with my new car i imagine it would be close but me beating him. 
so when you get back with your new car we should go line em up lol.

not a problem benji. i messed with you once before probly about 2 years ago now atleast on highway 30. had a huge exhaust leak from doing my head gaskets you had a couple lengths on me the whole time lol. yeah i raced nelson and stomped the crap out of him all 3 times we raced. a 1/4 mile dig (had him by 3 cars the whole time) a 1/2 mile dig (4 cars that time) and a 30 punch gave him about a 2 second head start and by the time i hit second and finally grabbed traction i was already beside him and passing him. im sure if i would of had some bigger gears than the old 2.73's it would have been a even worse slaughter lol.
