Not counting the engine, except as a "core". When was the last time you tried to by a Offie intake with carb, or a A833SO with a Hurst shifter? If I were in that area I would jump all over that for $500 (with hurst shifter), and I'm a cheapskate.
I agree with both if I wanted a six cylinder and a 4 gear overdrive with that manifold and carb I would pay that 500 no problem. I also agree that Charlie is a cheapskate but a good one! LOL
