<div>I wrote to them and here is what they said. I might be interested if a deal
could be put together quickly. I’m crazy for thinking of doing this for a street
car but it would be fun to have a sleeper. My car is already 87mm, D cam, 100
thousands off the head and lightweight flywheel so a bit warm already.</div>
<div>Lets stay in touch.</div>

<div>Hello Jerry,</div>
<div>
Yes, for some quantity the amount change. In the case of the crankshaft the
amount change for 3 cranks (USD 1950 each) and for 5 cranks (USD 1755 each). I'm
able to admit in the order (to reach the quantity) different specifications
(different strokes, rod journal sizes, etc.).</div>
<div>
About the connecting rods, the amount change for 5 sets; you can count on USD
790 per set.</div>
<div>
Let me know your thoughts and if there is anything from side that I can do to
help you.</div>
<div>
I also take this opportunity to let you know that we can supply you forged
pistons (with the respective sample) and engine bearings (even with antifriction
coating); and trimetallic alternatives (we can change the rod journal dimension
a little bit to use a more modern rod bearing)<br></div>
<div>All the best</div>

If a group purchase could be arranged would there be a price reduction? If yes
what quantity would you need and what would the price be?<br>There may be more
