No front plate is a secondary offense they can't pull you over for that has to be something else.
I get ya, regardless you’ve been tricked by government nonsense again if you think this front plate is going away. Make sure to have self tapping screws so that you can fasten it to your freshly painted front bumper in front of your intercooler. On a positive note, if you have a Tesla you can mount it anywhere and not detract the stylish looks.

If you would like parts that fit buy factory panels, all aftermarket panels require some special attention. If the savings is substantial it may be worth it.

haven't run a front plate on my funcars in 24 years
Yep, the Highway patrol knows this one isn’t going away. Good open door for pulling you over. “ I pulled you over for no front plate, but I see you aren’t wearing your seat belt, that will be $150 sir for that belt violation.

Sounds like excellence to me! You have done the difficult, and made that sound like a flat plane crank. I enjoy the sound.

Most people have a hard enough time just doing their job, and thinking about other parts of the job puts them over the edge. People now are specialized in one specific field of work, and venturing outside their narrow range of knowledge is not their job. The fry guy only makes fries, don’t ask him to make a cheeseburger, he can’t do it.

Maybe it was an Southern Hemisphere spec starter😳

Lots of dealers get trade ins and they just want to dump them. Search eBay locally. They are still $1800 for as is.

Usually few and far between with these, most use and abuse them till they’re dead, and the the few that are for sale in fair condition go for quite a bit. I have purchased 2 52” over the years used and both needed lots of work. If I were cutting an acre or over I would definately go new.

interesting, did old school sbc's oil the rods first? or am I remembering something incorrectly.
As far as debris, he hasn't taken it apart yet, but it sounds like he windowed the block. a mutual friend of ours was following him and says he saw flames out the bottom of the car and then oil smoke. I am hoping for his sake all the debirs decided to go out the bottom rather than up and he didn't bend any valves.
Scoggin dickey and summit both offer new "replacement" LS1 short blocks but in reading the fine print they look like L33 5.3 aluminum blocks that are machined to LS1 spec. I don't think he's being too semantic about it being a specific ls1 block vs a ls1 spec short block as long as everything bolts up as it was before....however if the top end is trashed as you mentioned, perhaps a whole ls3 dropout from a wreck is the better option.
was just reading about the reluctor wheel and the ls7 cranks for earlier blocks. interesting stuff.
How the fuck are you going to oil the rods first when the oil feeds from the main bearing through the crankshaft?

This is the ballpark on what I was feeling but kind of roughly pulled that value from the back of thin air
I don’t think I am going to make this deal happen as poor bastard has dumped way more money into it than that even though he never drives it
Appreciate the bit of insight
And you will continue to dump money into it. The last owner of my 380 dumped $33,000 in well documented repairs from the early 2000s to 2016. He drove it from 90,000 miles to 128,000 and sold it to me for $1000 because the engine had developed a knock. They are better than r129 which are total piles of shit.

R107s are climbing in value, but prices are all over the place. A branded title certainly won’t help increase the value of any car, especially a Mercedes. The 380sl is definately the bastard child of the 107 chassis. With that being said if it’s a rust free running car in good condition that runs well, $4000 would be a good starting point. Condition and pedigree is where the value is.

I have a complete set up for $475

buy something newer than 2005
This is better advice, but seriously if you are diagnosing this as a faulty speed sensor, then you may want to take it to a professional. It could be absolutely anything, but a fuel pressure is where I would start.

Here we go again with your stupid bullshit opinions. Go to work and shut the fuck up.

Find me sponsors and I'll do it. You guys can cover it.
That would be a good channel, a sponsor like cable ties unlimited would cut down on a large part of the budget😳.

He’d be better off with a lawnmower engine.

Are you asking for a 5 Star google review for people that haven’t done business with you just because?

what year and what car did it come from?

For a shitty design.that show was annoying...they made it seem like every 996 needs it done...pretty rare failure -
It’s a cayman, I considered buying one and doing a high hp v8 swap on one, but it’s still a cayman.

That’s a great project, but if she is just getting her license, a bad choice for a first car. Even at 200 hp or so these cars are not forgiving even in fair weather conditions, not to mention it has the safety features of a go kart. Maybe getting an insurance quote will make it her second car.

A little biased or EXTREMELY knowledgeable! I have owned 6 Alfa Romeo's, both new and old.
Re-read my post, I am not an Alfa fan-boi. The biggest problem with Alfa's then and now is a weak dealer service network.
Full disclosure my daily is a G90.
If they were so reliable then dealer service wouldn’t be needed. If it doesn’t break, it won’t need to be fixed. Reliable is the last word I think of when dealing with any Italian machinery.

Other fees in the bill? Yes $200 registration fee for Tesla and other EV owners on top of the $40+ fee for the sticker each year. Funny Larry Householder stated to the media the gas tax will cost the average Ohio person $55 a year. Yet they hit EV cars with a $200 a year tax. And if you own a Hybrid you get to shell out $100 extra at yearly registration and you get to pay the gas tax as well. I can extrapolate what I drive each year in my American V8, and look like this will only cost me $75-$80. Suck it hippies. LOL
All this despite the 3 billion the state has in it’s rainy day fund. And a Budget surplus thanks to John Kasich. I miss him, even if he has chicken legs. Saw him in shorts one day eating out with his security detail. Crazy to see the Governor out eating in a restaurant in shorts and a t-shirt. In Mid March with 6” of snow on the ground. LOL
Also the bullshit of this bill in the “no front plate mandate” it doesn’t take place until July 2020, the Gas tax is in place July 2019. I Bet that someone drafts a bill that will strip the no front plate requirement from this bill by 2020, and it will never be legal in Ohio to not have a front plate.
You are spot on

So, what is it you have an issue with exactly?
