Default Another ebay auction - advice?

For the price, how does this one look? I could get heads separately and look for LQ9 pistons and rods separately.

If you going to have it built then its not a bad deal. I would not run LQ9 pistons in it with the radix, would be best to keep the compression around the stock LQ4's. You may be able to run eveything there, just have it all checked, change all the bearings,get new rings. Wont really know what you can and cant use until you have it checked at a machine shop. The block alone is worth more than what the bid is currently, as long as shipping isnt to high.

OK thanks. litreddevil I am looking for an LQ9 but I'm thinking it might be cheaper to turn the LQ4 into the 9, rather than buying a 9. I dunno yet though. As for the high vs low compression, I have looked into it and come to the conclusion that the LQ9 is right for what I am doing.

I saw some other ebay auctions last week for LQ9 pistons and rods...not sure how they ended up. Seems like a good deal to me.
