Last spring I picked up a set of Ford Racing stainless shorties with 10 minutes of engine break-in time (not even any soot inside) for $75 and a brand new in the box Flex-a-lite Black Magic fan for $100. Both from a guy who had to sell his project. Deals are fun!
I paid $600 for both which was fair to me. A little drive time and gas money is better to me then shipping and tax. Now I just need to find the rest of the parts for the brake conversion and suspension I want.
