Nope.  I'm working with a fabricator to have them made locally.  I can gt them at a very fair price if I can guarantee 20 sets sold.  I think I can do that.  He owes me set 1 before any $$$ changes hands and any promises are made.

mixed martial artist are like pit bulls. were highly trained and bred to protect our family, our property, and ourselves. But when someone rattles the cage and gets bit they aim to put us down like their stupidity is our fault. I am a cage fighter, does that mean i want to hurt you outside the cage? No. will i stand there and let you beat me because im trained to fight inside the cage? No. If you pick a fight i will defend my self, regardless of my training or your lack of. if you get hurt i may feel bad but in the end the fault is yours. If your to stupid not to start something you cant finish the i suggest you stay on the porch.

I contacted a performance shop that specialized in 4.0 and 4.2's.  I'll see if we can meet up and maybe do some dealing.  I think they need to start selling some 2150's to go along with their stroked 4.2's.........

Great score GRONK! She does look great...poor thing just needs a new heart! :)

Maybe he should change its name to the Tin Man!

Tootie may get a heart transplant from bucket this winter if I can't find a good priced 4.2. 

I took a quick look at CList for Denver and Co Springs and was surprised there weren't any 258's listed.  Usually there are a few to choose from.  That's where I got my transplant from for $300.

Hey Gronk is that speed shop in the Springs? Ive been looking all over for a place that deals in performance stuff for these engines. I had a heck of a time finding a shop to machine my block, and when I did they were reluctant. If it wasnt a ford, chevy, or mopar v8 they didnt want to touch it.

Is Tootie a Limited? all those power options paired with the fabric seats is pretty rare.

ok... I have to ask, what is up with the caramel Wagons and white and tan wagons and black SX/4's being so numerously running? I mean can paint make that big of a difference?  :rotfl:

Shanebo,  If I read correctly they dropped the SX/4 and equiped the Wags in Sport and Limited.  Could this be the Sport?  I haven't sen markings either way but it has more options than my 83 limited without the leather.
