Advice on Bad 273 Motors

I'm planning a 500 mile round trip to buy a 273 block from another FABO member, if that tells you anything. Granted, he is selling me the block at a more than fair price....but I'm still driving a long ways for a 273. Keep them around until someone else can appreciate them!
and to think I had a complete 273 that was running when pulled on CL for 200 bucks and never got one single call.....

But then again, when "I" want something, nobody but a select few have it, and it's GOLD!!!!!! But when I sell something, not one single soul has any desire at all, no matter. LOL
