| Did you get that from a guy by Klamath Falls? I was dealing with a guy from there on one, but the distance was a deal breaker. Would sure like one of them, or better yet, a 4W 305. Congratulations on your purchase. Darrel |

There are now two 8550 in my area. The only 4w305 is sitting next to a barn where the guy drug it after he said a cam lobe went. I went an looked at it an he has left the intake off the turbos an they are now stuck. I offered him well over scrap for it but he isnt ready to get rid of it so im waiting for my chance on that one |
