Very good deal, though! Seems like a prime opportunity to slap a big engine in there.

Thx! The color is what sold me and what makes it hard to sell. Only thing I can figure is there was enough of the old IMS shrapnel in there to destroy the new one.

I only wish I had to skills to do a big engine swap!

Yeah that can be a problem. Sometimes people will see a little debris in their oil pan, or their IMSB will fail but not wreck the whole engine. Then, they just swap the bearing when what they really need is a full clean/rebuild.
For me, those rare colors are a huge sell (particularly on the older Porsches). I would personally never want one of the more-common colors.
