I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but I did indeed know about those blocks, thats why I kept saying "Rocket Block" and not motor. I just couldn't find the specifics until I found that same page joe_padavano posted right before he posted it.

Doesn't matter anyway, the kid already sold it and told me I was "asking too many unnecessary questions." :lol:

Well... that's a sign that you should not have bought it in the first place, so no real loss there.

I feel the same way. I asked for the VIN # (so I could run a Carfax) and he says "dunno why you would need this but here it is..." :shock:
