[Shotimes] strange SHO engine on ebay

[Noah South III]

That motor is easily worth $2000 or more.  I seriously doubt it's a 3.8
since the 3.0 block can't safely be bored out that far, but that doesn't
mean it's worth any less.  I don't think I've EVER seen a Yamahammer that
clean in my life.  Too bad it needs a new DIS.  The way things are going it
looks like that's going to be the problem with getting this engine up and
running.  Oh would I love to use this engine in the Shogun MKII.
