they can ask for a review even with bills of sale
and then the onus is on me to prove means court all sorts of chit
they take fraud very seriously here...... especially if your cheating the man!!!!!!!

Just tell them that since we now have free halth care and an emormous tax burden, that we now have to sell everything for pennies on the dollar to survive. There is more truth to that than you will ever know. :angry-smiley-038:

I doubt it's a case of sounds too good to be true it usually is. He just needs to move these so he can finish his ongoing project. This economy sucks, but they would collect more dust before I'd give them away. By the way, how's the economy in Canada ?

I think you misunderstood him. They were talking about lying on the bill of sale about the price of the motors to pay a lower tariff on the import tax. He was saying that the govt. would know that the deal was "too good to be true" if you said that you bought them for a few hundred bux...

OK, In case some of you guys don't like the set up......

THis is a possibility.

Engines as listed below but upgrade to Madero designed hydralic roller cams spec'd to your boat and re dynoed...... WITH and I say WITH

CMI exhaust off of 500efi's with bravo tails. And I'll find 2 standard 10 pin wiring harnesses and bravo bellhousings making these drop in ready

This is still just a possibility but if it generates a sale it looks doable. I don;t have the headers in my possesion yet, but I have a probable deal on them if things move quickly.

Total turn key after dyno work is 16K cash. PM, or post if this changes interest.

THanks.

I have brought all kinds of things back from the US of A. Just make sure that the person who you buy the item off will support your story with a bill of sale and phone number because they will phone him as they have done many times with me. Just in case, be like me, I can't get across the border so I send my wifey. I tell her I will be good when she is in jail:kiss:

If I could dump my 7.4 MPI's I'd take these but just doesn't seem to be a market for them

How many hours and do they run? THe last one I sold, I sold for $2000. It had around 400hours. Really low hour ones that can be verified by the computer, go for between 2250 and 3K if someone needs them. They are a lot easier to sell to the cruiser guys who are looking to repower. You might try them.
