Is this a fuel pump btw?

Yes, that is a carter electric pump

Apparently he hasn't done anything to it. Not even removed the heads , so no head gasket change and it has 100,000 mi on it, sounds like he just took all of the accessories off , added that manifold, cleaned it up and painted it . But is now " going in a different direction " He wants $1,800 . I know he's got a bunch of performance stuff that is of no interest to me , so I think I'm going to pass. I can get a used engine much cheaper than that.

I know either way they're going to be roll of the dice, so I think I'm going to roll them with Rapido full engine Assembly

Yes I've noticed that. On their Google reviews which aren't many they seem to be mixed. But being so little review I feel like people only want to leave a review when it's something negative. Everybody that's used them here on iboats that I have found were positive. So that's a good sign I suppose. But I think at this point unless I'm doing it myself (which I don't know how), anything's going to be hit or miss lol

Didn't compare all the specs, but have dealt with MM a few times for tech advice and buying other parts--these guys know their stuff and have great customer service. If everything was close in terms of price, I wouldn't hesitate going with them.
