That can go look at an engine for me. Don't need any technical feedback, just that it is a legit engine and I am not buying from some Nigerian scamster.

Eugene let's first get that engine shipped
Freddie the man - only my wife dude only my wife
Pink Freddie - tralala actually the real colour is aggressive salmon
Freddie
- only after 12:00 on a weekend and a couple 
No problem believing in paying it forward.
When I went to have a look at that engine I actually found a little gem of a place that I did not know existed
Druled a bit over this man cave and apologized before I left









Eugene anytime no problem. But as I said let's first get that engine to my place and shipped safely
Will pick up a pallet or two, strapping and some wrapping material and see what I can put together for shipment for you.
