Not at all introducing myself and getting down to business.... not sure why the negativity when I’m selling parts that are brand new basically way under value from new and offering to other miata enthusiasts.... I don’t see the problem here......

Because spam posts trash up threads with useless comments. Then you sell your stuff and never here another word. So someone in your shoes just ****** out the site to their advantage. Most sites dont catch that trend. Miataturbo does.

its risky for the buyer and bad for the forum.

The Council of Moderators have deemed ls3NB worthy of membership among our hallowed forum.

The fact that he bribed me rather generously had nothing at all to do with this decision.

Jegs and Summit Racing sell those crate engines. They're in the catalog every month.

My apologies then. The timing of posts make it look like you googled after he stated 376.

Every ls3 is a 376 lol. That's 376 cubic freedom units. They make three crate options, stock 430 like corvettes/camaros, 480 which is a bigger cam, and 525 which is a bigger cam.

In Ryan's defense, I thought you were spamming your first few posts as well because you posted things for sale before your ten posts (we have a rule about 10 posts before offering things for sale ).

That said, welcome to the forum and thanks for being a supporting member. There's a couple v8 guys on here, post up some pictures of your car and any cats you own!
