I think it's a combination of everything that has been mentioned.

Unless there's some rockin' good deal, I'd rather have a new aluminum block. The economy has something to do with it and also believability as well. No information or pics have been posted. Most folks are hundreds and thousands of miles away and can't make the trip to check it out. Thus, even if you have the money to buy, and you want an NOS block or whatever, you have to send money to someone you don't know and/or trust that you will get what you've paid for in return.

No disrespect to BBQ, or anyone else selling items on the Internet, but I think the apprehension applies to most of the private sellers and some vendors that are out there. Just reading the FE Forum, you'll see that are quite a few sellers of FE parts that aren't holding up their end of the bargain.

Cammer stuff always interests me, pics and info would be great, but someone will have to send A LOT of money to BBQ, or anyone else selling parts or cars via the Internet, then hope.

My $0.02.
