If those bids on the car are for real, the guy needs to lower the reserve right away!
The block design, twin plugs per cylinder, head bolts(and others I'm sure)............there's a reason why a M-B trans can/does bolt up to it. I've built up a few 5.7 and 6.1 Hemi's and most of the parts come in repackaged; or same package with mopar sticker over it, M-B containers.
