I assume the seller is the same guy that has that user name on Moparts...

It is indeed
him and a bloke called moparmal on Mopramarket have a nice little import export business going Oz to US and back.
he takes in Australian modified K members with mountings for LHD or RHD GM manual racks, engines, panels and whole cars.
(think he has a Torana a falcon and an E49 charger clone)
and sends back US bits at a better rate than you could if they came through customs into Oz as a separate packages.
basically did a roaring trade in slant 6 electronic ignitions when they were available in the US (but not in Oz) and built it up from there
both of them are eminently reasonable chaps
belive he supplied some bits or knew that guy who had that mad wagon and the late aussie charger in the US and used to post on here (tweety???) although theye were oposite coasts i think

Yes I reckon it must be - seller is out of Garden Grove Calif, so is OzHemi (Jeff is his real name). I bought some stuff from him in the past.

the racing versions are worth a fair bit.....the correct engine in the right car ultimately means big $$$ for the car if you sell.
so there is a bit of a trade in screwing the owners of engine-less cars out of as much as possible.
the Aussies are really hot on numbers matching when it comes to an RT
