i bought one of their unclaimed engines for my pro touring 67 camaro, where someone orders it makes a deposit then doesnt pay the balance. mine has all upgrades avail, my ultra st 540 makes 804 hp @6500 and 710tq @ 4500. 10.7 to 1 on pump gas, mine made an extra 100 ponies from a full cnc port job! rm

Sorry been working out of town for 2 weeks but here is the links to the estimate and the final invoice:

Never posted links on here so if it's not working let me know. The original agreed upon estimate was understood to be everything except for the cost of the ignition and carb.
