hadhec Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi, I would be interested, but by the time I get it to Aus it could be quite expensive. How negotiable are you? Also can you email me some pictures? My email is da.harper@bigpond.com Do you know how to ship things this large to other countries? I will do some home work. Regards Damien.Hadhec,This engine would be perfect for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
