White van shipping.

George at Chifor is a weasel.

The going rate at the Canadian wreckers for an engine is $2.00 a cc. This is a complete engine, running, less carbs, and black box. For those math challenged, $700 Canadian for a running RZ350 engine. Now the problem is, find one. I dare you to. They are really tough to find. I've been looking, since I started buying RZ parts. I have 11 RZ rollers, only 7 RZ engines. Thank goodness I've found LC engines. They'll work in a pinch. Due to less hp on the LCs, I'll have to be creative with those builds.

What started all this was my need for a set of cylinders for an RZ motor. I have everything else.

Does Universal in Calgary have any RZ jugs?

I rode the FZ today and it is good fun. Its way faster and more solid feeling than the RZ or RD and it really rips with the throttle wide open. :smt003
