GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!


Does anyone here have a good cylinder head with valves? The one I purchased on ebay ended up at Doraville United Parcel Smashers and they wrote this;
MERCHANDISE IS MISSING. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS. / ALL MERCHANDISE MISSING, EMPTY CARTON WAS DISCARDED. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE.

So anyone got one?

Leave it to UPS to lose anything. This is exactly why I ALWAYS ship Fedex...


Plus Fedex has the little arrow that will drive you insane every time you see the logo.

The arrow has driven me crazy ever since I was told about it. Funny story about FedEx though. The owner went to the glorious Harvard of the South aka Ole Miss and my friends dad had class with him. Well his final paper in a class was written about the idea of what became FedEx. The teacher said it was a great idea but would never work and gave him a C for effort. The owner of FedEx has this paper framed in his office now and every year sends a photocopy of the paper and his companies earnings to the teacher.:alrightI wish I was half as bad ass as that.

I think the head was stolen, 94lbs of metal is some good money at a scrapper. or reselling a cylinder head for more than I bought it for...

FedEx ground service is marginally better than UPS ground. UPS has smashed enough of our stuff over the years that I will choose FedEx, even if FedEx shipping costs more.

I once ordered a digital camera memory card that the shipper placed in a 6"x6"x6" box. The box looked like an accordion when UPS delivered it to me.

I have to agree with united323is - that head was most likely sold to a scrap metal recycler. :az

I have an M50 head, no cams. I'd have to pull it off a running motor though... make me an offer?

I love how urban legends (in this case maybe not so urban) get started like this. Fred Smith was FROM Mississippi. He DID NOT attend Ole Miss (WTF does?), as Matt noted. So no, your friend's dad did not have class with him (unless he too went to Yale). :D

Got a head from Matt. Bill you can close the thread if you wish.

Look at the white space closed in by the "E" and the "x" makes an arrow that you'll never forget.
