    A buddy of mine dropped this by my work today, wants me to sell it for him...only I have no idea what it is. Kinnda weird. I think it is an 8BA as it has no slot up front for the distributor but has a bolt on front distributor drive gear. The front and center bearing surfaces have an oiling grove cut into them. and looks like it was done with a cut off wheel, and the rear oilng grove has had the ends blocked off by welding. I would ***ume for high oil pressure?

    It appears to be a new billet, and has ELIMINATOR stamped into the snout. Can anyone ID this thing...or even better, got any specs?
