Yeah saw that Short motor on there good price to ..

there is also a complete Metro turbo motor/Gearbox/turbo unit for $2000 Which isn't bad

As for the motor for $400 i've seen similar motors on this forum not sell for the same money... People still want to be able to buy stuff for there 60/70's cars at genuine 70's prices.. :evil: Stupid if you ask me $400 for a 1275 if i didn't already have four motors i would be bidding right away..
