				I'm finally down to the options of trading in the Corvette or parting it out. In the old days you could post parts and have people fighting over them within the hour. Is there enough of a market for small block parts these days to even sell off the pieces?  I know the intake, throttle body, headers, transmission and rear end (D44 with 3.45 gears) will likely sell easily enough (though I don't want to ship the larger items). How's the market for roller cams, roller rockers, ATI aluminum "3 ring" road race harmonic balancer, etc? I have a splayed main cap block, I'd think that would be easy enough to sell for a somewhat decent price. Any thoughts? |

				Kevin, Yes folks still do. Scratcher is still on a production block and does well. Lots of circle (asphalt and dirt) still use them week in and week out. That being said, I just got another project car and it needs a sbc due to a "we left water in it and it froze". Costas cars and such... |
