pockrockgtti Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I use to be bang into these back in the day. I had 3 of them at one time. The rods and pistons are forged as standard. Prices have started to go through the roof now. I wish i would have kept one of mine. Quote

The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Think it's that one. I remember seeing it online and thought that was well mint! Quote
russ78 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Funny how 3 of us all have different opinions on the internals of these little beauty's engines lol Only adds to how elusive and rare these really are I wish my mrs would let me have one more car as one of these would be on the drive haha Quote
