Groovy but total fantasy island for me. Sadly that's worth more than both my cars, my bike and my tools. I wouldn't say no if you want to give it to me for Christmas though.
Isn't that the guy who built the flathead dragster that set the lowest ET ever? Looks like he's trying to leverage his reputation.
Holy ****, right?! Looks like a $50 engine stand from All-car with a gusset welded into it, definitely not what I would trust holding up $40K worth of engine, and bolted to the back of a flathead like that, I'm not sure if the block or the stand would fail first, but I would not want to trust either. An engine cart with four-corner support makes a lot more sense, or at least a removeable support that could go on the front and transfer some weight onto the motor mounts. I'm surprised an experienced builder of such a wild and beautifully detailed engine would let that fly. Maybe he knows something I don't.
$39,000, good Lord, that's what I paid for our first house in 1975! Sold it for $215,000 in 2001, do ya think that Ardun will sell for $215,000 in 26 years? Who knows, just an observation! KK
