If it's the same engine/block, just p/u a non running kit off E-Bay.

Thanks you guy i did contact the person in the craiglist but he is not very comfortable shipping the items to Austin TX , so guess some lucjy person in Dayton will be owning the kit .

I did !! I have tried fedex, UPS collect on delivery , even a made a different email id as as my emails were not replied ( i was after them and emailed then many time to reconsider ) so i made a different email id and email then again , No luck . Here is their reply :

"We appreciate your interest, but we cannot ship the engine.

Thank you for understanding."
