I saw this ad, I would like a few of those parts but can't take it all (or even the bulk of it)

Maybe someone here could buy it all and then sell me a couple bits - like the gx head and side draft manifold?

Ahhh...
He just looked for the "gx head" and remembered he took it somewhere a year ago so he no longer has it.
He might have a side draft manifold for my Nissan engine though - that would be cool! I don't know yet if it's for SU or Weber or what.
