[SuperNovaSS]

Does anyone know who is making these? This jerk is selling them as restored pieces.

They loks like absolute junk. Horrible part number and firing order and a sideways snowflake. Wow, I feel sorry for the buyers. The worst part is he is getting positive feedback. The guy is selling "restored" 3933163 intakes also and what looks to be other restamped pieces. I hope it catches up with him.

Looks like the bottom just fell out of 198 intakes.

I doubt many people will be taken on those crappy looking copies. And they will find out soon enough. The casting number isn't even close.

If he puts another one up for sale, why don't you make a "warning" auction on ebay comparing a real 198 to the new fakes. Just a thought.

Not a bad idea.

I dont see where this is advertised as a reproduction.
Where are you basing your analysis of this on?
Are you in the know of these being reproduced and if so who is doing them?

Added:
Now I am seeing another one of these on eBay by a different seller.
This seller is stating that his is a reproduction!

Now I am seeing this.






CORRECT SNOWFLAKE:

[SuperNovaSS]

Yes, that is what I was basing it on.

I see it now.

Those sure flew in quick under the radar.

Can't wait to see all of 0-Code castings done next.

Im glad all of my stuff is GM issue.

Thanx for the info!!!!
