A bunch of SC performance related parts are on my local craigs list. The parts are listed by a mechanic installing a built 347 in the SC. The owner is selling the 3.8 related parts. The owner gave the descriptions and prices to the mechanic. I talked to the mechanic who was very nice on the phone. I told him a a bunch of the parts were way over priced and he didn't get upset or anything. He might be listing more parts such as a cam, I believe the cam will be a regrind though. These are approximately 30 miles from me.

Short story - low mileage 94 SC 5-speed - had someone put the car together and set up the valve geometry wrong (probably used wrong push rods) and trashed a piston and head.

Call has been placed :)

Just got off the phone with Chris - very nice guy, explained to him the price that the items go for usually used and he said he would ask the seller...he is willing to ship.

Thanks for the post.

I did tell some local members about this stuff first. :) I might be going with one of them to look at the exhaust.

I warned him that prices were high on some of the stuff and he said the same thing.

It was my understanding most of this was purchased about 6 years ago. The damaged to the motor happened over 2 years ago. The owner finally decided to fix the car.

I forgot the CAI tube is 3".

I called Chris...I explained this, said he would get with the owner and see if he would negotiate down for a serious buyer.

I'll see where we get.

Well I bought some of these parts...Chris is cool got me a shipping quote and such.

Seller really wasn't much on negotiating price tho so FYI to anyone else looking to pick something up.

Tim,

What did you buy? So he didn't move on his prices is what you are saying?

I bought the Kooks and the raised top...which I just sold these same parts to Duffy a while back when I had other plans...everyone knows how that goes. :D

Anyways he came down $29 off the shipped price. He gave me $25 off the purchase of 2 items and $4 off shipping. ....really there was no room to negotiate but seeing as I would have paid more for new ones from SCP I can't bark to loudly.

I am sure he will keep asking $1200 for the S-port..:rolleyes:
