Gee, my 330GT is 8855. The 8857 engine is "rebuilt" with nothing whatsoever inside it.

Incidentally, I'm about to start making making the clutch slave banjo fitting from a 1 1/16 " brass round bar.
The bar is 1 foot long, and the fitting is 2" long, so I can mess up 4 times.

I should have noted that with our odd numbered cars, this was the next one built.

The bids are up to 3,100 pounds... I wonder what he wants for the missing parts?

The carbs are worth $8-10K alone, but missing parts will really add up to the cost of assembling a functioning engine. It would make a very nice coffee table, but I perish the thought!

Well, you could just cut it down the middle and mount both halves on a wall somewhere...

Except that 8857 is a GTC.

OK. The engine blocks are the same. The carbs are different. What else is different?
