Am I too High!
I thought that would get your attention
 Is the market saturated? Is this not desirable any longer? Why is it that we invest so much into this stuff and there is no return. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=773741

Definitely not too high. I have pondered this as well. Seems to me that most enthusiast have at least some parts laying around that they feel strong about or have some sentimental connection with. They feel that they just need this or that to build their own motor or car. This allows them to pay as they go rather than save and dump large sum at one time. Also easier to hide from significant other. Just my thoughts.

Expense to result in a good running engine like THAT takes $$$$, decisions, assembly time (risks), and efforts. A real sacrifice that a Buyer will appreciate.

Yeah that is a killer for a street motor.
It would be nice for a street short block if the heads sold! Torqjunki, I understand I'm guilty of buying a little at a time and then putting it together.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
