I'm putting my matching case on the shelf while I run a 3.2 in my six.

Are you looking for an engine to rebuild?
I have a complete 2.2T with zeniths up near the SF bay area. It had been sitting for a while when I got it. I cleaned up and rebuilt the carbs, and it ran well enough that I went back and forth to LA with it, but a week after that trip it wouldn't start. Spins fine, but doesn't feel like it has compression. Probably needs valve job and rings at least. Worth probably $1200 as a complete core.

Wait, I forgot the hydraulic tensioners. Make that more like $1500.
