I have one here that endured the Postal Football match.

It has a denting of the Power Steering Pump can, and lost a couple of fins from one of the cylinder heads, but apart from that, I believe it is all there.

Postage back to USA would be a killer though.

Probably I will never understand why people are not cleaning a bit the parts they are selling...

Probably because it’s a wanted ad and we are taking photos of what’s laying around.
Mine, for $500 is sitting on a shelf and came off of a running car.
If the guy wants it I’ll put it in a plastic bag in a box and send it to him.
He can clean it.

If I want to get top dollar ok clean it and post it in the “for sale” section for $1000.00.

G'day Roger,

The funny thing was that I took the pulley off it many years ago so that I could post a picture of it with measurements for a fellow Member who wanted to look at just the pulley.   Whilst it was off, I decided to remove the mount so that it would take up less room when I put it back under the shelf.

As Brian said, if I was selling it, I definitely would clean it up, and make it more presentable, picture it, then, if it didn't sell, then it would gather dust again.

At least, it has genuine USA grime and dirt on it, and Quarantine thankfully didn't make me clean it.

As to what it is worth, I will let the market decide, but I was really disappointed when I opened the package and saw the freshly-broken fins.   The buying pictures showed it was perfect.

Bruce. >:D

Thank you guys for the replies, I had bought one a while back for future use and its in bad shape inside. Does anyone know someone who overhauls these? Possible pistons and rings etc? I am going to buy another unit but all the used ones are in terrible condition and since they run constant with engine oil pressure I am afraid they might self destruct and ruin the engine.

Also looking for there front air suspension shock brackets

The one I have came off of a running car and does not need to be overhauled.
