Default 351w & Richmond 4+1 + other stuff

EVERYTHING SOLD EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE, WHICH IS NOW LISTED ON EBAY http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:L:RTQ:US:1
THANKS GUYS!!!
I bought the 351w in February from a local guy who had it built for a project that fell through by a pro builder in Idaho. Engine's never been run. It's got a Comp Extreme Energy Cam, all new pistons, new balnacer, timing chain & gears, powder coated Edelbrock Perfomer intake, hi volume oil pump, new Crane roller rockers & springs and ARP bolts throughout. Heads are stock Ford, but don't have a number on them. Chrome valve covers.
All was fine till I discovered the block was overbored .060", which made me a little nervous, since I was expecting to take some serious power out of it. After agonizing over it I ended up buying another engine and now have this one up for grabs. I'd like to get $1200 for it + shipping. There's a bunch of the old parts, including a set of grungy motor mounts that I'll pack with it if you want them. It's on a steel cradle and ready for a pallet. This is a pretty decent deal if you can live with the .060 issue.

OK, so the engine of my dreams (also a 351w) comes attached to a Richmond 4+1 transmission. Since we FFR people ONLY put Tremecs in our Cobras, I wasn't about to break tradition with a Richmond. So, now I've now got the Richmond transmission (ratios 3.28, 2.13, 1.57, 1.23, 1.00), the shifter, McLeod bellhousing and block plate, all set up for a 351w (see a pattern developing here?), all new. Dimensionally, this package is identical to a Tremec 3550. $1500 + shipping for the complete setup. Summit's getting $1900+ for just the transmission.

Also available:
302/351 used bellhousing in great shape - $85
Block plate for above - $15
Used clutch arm & throwout bearing - $25
All the above - $110 + shipping.

I tried to post a pic of the engine but Clubphoto is being stubborn so email me for pics of any of this stuff and I'll send them direct.
