I have tried selling parts on forums before, and had way too many issues with buyers, payments, addresses, haggling, lowballing etc. And certain folks that want to call my cell number all hours of the day to ask questions about anythind and everything. There were a lot great people to deal with and some that were not. I know that the forums are a great spot for the die hards that bleed blue and red, however ebay provides a platform that streamlines the entire process, and I do not mind the fees because of that.
No fees during Jan month using BUY IT NOW

How many nice quads are you gonna hack up?
-
Funny...still listed on eBay as a Hall motor.
-
I've never seen that, only other engraving I know he does is when the cylinder requires 2 base gaskets after machining the deck surfaces....
-
Dale, didnt he put his marking under the reed intake on his drag motors, maybe this was on his older ones.
-
JH engraves "HPR" on the cylinders he ports. He has not built any LT500 stroker motors.
-
Yeh, that could jam you up....maybe pm Jerry on here (Jerry is Jerry Hall from HPR), his handle is motorgeek and he should be able to verify whether or not he worked on it.
-
Well, I definitely dont want to sell it if Hall did not port it, is there any way to confirm that it was Ported by jerry Hall?? Does he engave anything on it?
-
No harm... No foul
Nice Zilla you got there
-
When you are trying to get info from a guy seems to be completely spun, it makes things a little difficult. I was told it was ported by Jerry Hall and built by 'engineers' and Edelbrock. Again, it was not easy to get info on this and I really do not want to misrepresent it. I thought I would simplify it and just say Jerry Hall.

I've got some old snaggletooth 100AG blades that I can throw in if you buy them all :p
-
I have a big bore cylinder, piston and rings included, it'll bump displacement up to 2,450cc.
Some modification required to match the 500 crankcase.
$2,000 obo, 9 available.
Is the prop included? (Y)

E Bay buyers you gotta love em......
Wow over $250 for that head!
-
Saw that the head light is at $180 right now with 4 hours left. That is insane!! Glad you're getting TOP dollar for your stuff though.

For some reason I am having trouble replying with a quote. In regards to the kid I bought it from, yes, something was definitely strange with him. He was talking a mile a minute and acquiring this machine was an odd experience. I was able to get him to deliver it, but like I said, by the time he got here he seemed 'just a little' jacked on something. he said he was drunk, but did not act like a drunk person would. I could take a pretty good guess at what he was on but I will not speculate. The the kid insisted on kicking the bike over again and again at 9:30PM (I live in a horse community), and proceeded to get the rear fender caught under his boot and **** it. This WAS a PERFECT OEM rear fender, not any more and I made him take $150 off the price.
As far as the biek goes, it hauls ass like nothing I have ridden. I only have an acre of dirt, so there was no way I was going to open it up and really test it out. I went back and forth a bit thinking I would keep it and have as a second bike, but the setup is nowhere near what I want. If it had a stock length swingarm and plus 2" arms with some nice Elka's or some other shocks, it would probably have been added. I am not big on drag bikes personally. I like jumping and railing a berm and sliding the back end out as much as possible. I like an MX style bike with a big bad ass motor. So this would not fit the bill. Kind of a shame to part it out, but I am sure the parts will go to some pretty nice builds.
-
Have you rode that quad yet valvesrbad? The kid you bought it from must have got **** out with the cash cause he's AWOL his dad called me about the parts I was to buy from him (tires,carb,chrome kick starter) and he hasn't been seen since you paid him!! Lol luckily I haven't paid him either!!! Like to know how she runs keep us posted!!

-
So what else do you have for parts that your selling?
-
I wonder if that "74" etched in the head represents the combustion chamber size. If so, thats hella BIG!
-
I'd like to have that stock carb. It went for $225, buyer must have not paid. listed again
-
Heck I want that 88 head.
-
I assume you are the-dirt-factory on ebay? See some nice zilla parts on there from you. You could probably sell most of that stuff here or on other forums, avoid ebay fees, and give us a deal :)
-
nice buy especaily with all the extra parts
-
I see they blocked the "power valve" and put a 41 PWK on it. What fuel did he say to run? How about some pics of the other cylinder. Nice score!
-
Is this the quadzilla?
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/3427795915.html
Yes, this is the one. We agreed on a price and he delivered it. The guy was **** drunk by the time it showed up be he had someone driving. The bike and parts are amazing, just kind of a strange story behind the motor build.
-
I knew I should have kept that rusty old Bill's pipe that came on my 87!! Damnit!!
-
The ad says it's a bill's pipe, not that "Dr. Q junk".
First time I've ever seen anyone praise a bill's pipe over a Q pipe LOL
-
Whats the pipe? CT or a Power Pros?
-
Did he give you all the extra parts too? The cylinders, tires etc? He had a butt load of stuff
-
Yes, that is it, it appears that it was posted in numerous counties.

Welcome! I love the screen name lol. It might help a bit if you had some pics of the power plant. There is a wealth of knowledge here from people who bleed Blue. And usually they will ask for pics first and foremost.

I picked up a real nice zilla yesterday and as usual, it was a second owner kind of situation and the dude had some info on the motor, but did not know all the facts. It has a 3mm stroker crank (89mm I beleive?) and I am trying to figure out what the displacement would be?? The dude also claimed that the motor was built by engineers/mechanics at Edelbrock??? Anyone ever heard of them building motors?? The motor is a work of art, and absolutley RIPS, but I am used to seeing motors built by Trinity, CT, Etc. not Edelbrock. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
