That is too funny.

If he meets his 'buy it now' price maybe I ought to re-think my prices.

Oh, his being the only one in existance.......he must not know I've already done over 70 intake conversions for people.

I don't believe I need to. Looks like he's already been there.

I can't really tell in the pic but it doesn't look like he has that spacer at the rear for the distributor. The angled one? Also he said injectors from a GN? Aren't all Grand nationals 6 cylinders? Maybe he is short 2?

Hiya Brandon.

Yes, GNs are sixers. I was wondering the same thing about where the extra two injectors came from.

kevinc: the red paint on the injectors adds horsepower, didn't you know?

I agree, looks like hes missing the distributor spacer too.

Why is he an idiot? The guy is trying to make a buck or recover loses. He propably spent a few duckets putting that thing together too.When I sell **** on ebay I write it up like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and it works, mostly. It's business. It's the American way.
From a certain point of view it's not such a bad deal for someone who wants convert from carb or TBI. He's giving you a computer, a MAF, a TB(edlebrock?) and a distributor plus other stuff. People pay as high as $700 for a complete used TPI set-up and this is an LT1 w/more potential.
On the other hand $2000 is too much and will never sell for that. Everything for a grand shipped sounds better although I wouln't buy it just cause it's fabbed-up and if for whatever reason it doesn't fit/work out, you're most likely stuck!
