    I can buy a set of early center water outlet edolbrock and a set of later, a tricarb manifold, and a Generator offset. I am buying this stuff to make a buck, I can buy it all for 550.00, shoot me your opinions, im not using for myself, just fluff and buff. Money is tight right now so I dont want to spend five bills to make fifty bucks, if ya know what I mean.

    Way too much money to make a profit. Let some poor schmuck that actually wants to use them on his car over pay for them.

    I agree to much, if you want to resell.

    Heads are always iffy to buy used.
    Can be leakers!

    Manifold is OK if all threads are OK, and it looks good.

    Thanks guys, I thought the intake, and offset gen bracket were cool, and in super nice condition. But the heads are just normal used condition. I will see if I can shave it down, or break up the bunch.

    You can still get new Edelbrocks for $400 but I think a small price raise is in the pipeline as some places are now getting $425 or so.
