$300.00 is too much money for an in-complete engine. You will spend that much buying the missing parts, not to mention what is your time is worth looking for the parts.

Pick 'n pulls sell complete FE engines for less than half this price.

Read my post in your thread, cuz a chimer-inner gave you worthless info.

Way to go, Steph...I'm about 5k behind you.


I get to drive out to Riverside today to pick up my tool box, which I left in the bed of another guy's truck last night @ Irwindale. Yay me!

And yeah, it was crowded

I think I see a new marketing plan here. Close your doors for a month and scare the crap out of your customers. Then announce a grand re-opening. Then postpone it a coupla weeks to build the excitement, and BAM!!! Standing room only.

Happy Friday morning SoCal FTE! Windy up here in the central valley, maybe you guys down there will get enough of it to blow all that smog away.

Mouser carries the full Carling line I believe. They have a web cart app. I know my company uses it, but I haven't personally.

Best place I have found is OTRATTW (Over the river and through the woods). I bought several(10 ) for my RZR. If you don't see exactly what you need, shoot him an e-mail. He'll get it, or make it. His prices are very reasonable.

Thanks, I'm gonna go with them. Its easier to use than the Mouser site, plus by the sound/looks of it, the money will be better spend, rather than going to big corp.
