Subject : Re: jug swap
Yea my brain isn't working as well as it use to. Got a beed on a almost
complete 920 motor for cheap cheap. But as the guy who has it, never
owned it, the condition of the bottom end would be a toss up.

Not ready to rebuild a motor, funds or time wise, and a complete motor
swap isn't good not knowing how it ran. Was thinking maybe just swaping
top end parts but.......

Also its like what 150-180lbs, shipping isn't gonna be pretty. 
Even with a deal.
