        didn't think so, otherwise m20 guys would have discovered that easier stroker path long ago.

            I want to reply

            "I know m20s and m30, and that, sir, is no m20 cylinder head"


            Dude is straight smoking crack. $3k for a referb m30 is bogus

                  well, idunno.

                  understanding that the 2.8 bottom end has been rebuilt, it's got a head that probably flows better, and a hot cam. it's probably a pretty peaky, if small, big-six.

                  we aren't talking about something pulled from a junkyard car here. it probably cost more than $3k to build it, and dude is just trying to recoup some of what he spent. that's just my devil's advocate argument, though.

                  on another topic, i'm still hunting carmax for dailies. found an rx-8. i'm cool with a rotary if it's got a warranty and someone else pays to rebuild it when it spits out the apex seals. cheaper than the hyundai i was looking at before, too.

                        Lol gas mileage of a V12 with the grunt of a lawnmower. They like drinking oil too.
