Do you even have a source and price yet? I may be interested. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

I was just wondering if any of the guys on here had connections to get a group buy done for these.If no one does I could ask a few different companies if they would do a group buy to get discounted prices. Is there anyone interested before I start asking?

Pauter's are an off the shelf item while Cunningham is a custom order and could up to 12 weeks to receive.

Also for the other guy looking for the pistons. They just extended the group buy for diamond racing forged pistons 2 more weeks. Look in the group buy section.

Itâ�?��?�s going to have to be one fantastic group price to get my interest! Even with 10% off (unlikely) the rods would still be over a grand. I know DemonSVT is always saying that the stock rods are very good and I have read what he has written about them. If you havenâ�?��?�t already read it you should, he makes a compelling argument for using stock rods.

He bought 2 addition sets iirc to lower the price for me. He might be able to set up a group buy.
