    Couple reasons Pappy,

    First he is doing a full blow resto on a ’58 SSH, and needs a powerhead. He bought all NOS components, but needed a good crank case.

    I had a spare crankcase, which was good. The crank splines were damaged though, as was the keyway, so had to take it apart, even though the compression was so good. Im not skilled enough machinist to repair the threads and key way in situ on the motor.

    So, everyone wins.
