Yes, I had advertised some stuff for sale, nobody with any real interest even just about giving it all away, I'll just sit on the stuff for now.
Where did the motor tap out? Where do you think the combo was lacking most? Also, how much power were you looking for? I've been told that the majority of power is in the heads and valvetrain. Anyway, just curious of the final results, really sorry your build didn't go as expected. Just like you, I want to build essentially a junkyard motor and build around most of the OEM parts but it will be a while before I get to that point.
