prolly some show ****** car he wants to sell. Looks like he has the ebay ss manifold wrapped. I dont know why he would do a complete rebuild with the brand new stock crank. There are plenty of good used cranks available.

I like the sr. I ride in two sr powered 240's all the time and I love them. Great motors in my opinion capable of good power on stock internals. I personally want a CA18DET though...

That whole car is HAGGARD. Kit is awful, wheels are awful, "targa top" is awful, color is awful, swap looks haggard as ****, tacky spray paint everywhere is awful, ew. I wouldn't give $1000 for that car.
