Those look pretty nice to me. I've seen worse used in rebuilds. And 12A ones at that.

You could easily get > $100.00 per housing for those.

lol well its always people like me who are in the process of rebuilding.. the housings i took from my running motor are absolutely awful looking, idk why the guy used them because he gave me a "spare" motor that has some decent housings and awesome looking irons.... oh well ill just do it the right way for myself lol

Do you have any history on those housings (mileage, use, maintenance, omp vs. premix, etc)? I'm just curious because they look pretty clean. Why was the motor torn down?

I don't have specifics, I bought a rx7 shell to turn into a race car. Car satt for 6 years before me. Drained the coolant and it was water so I figured everything was FUBAR. That and I was bored
