My 360 Saga

I can relate to some of all of your post. The $1000 tore apart 340? Shady? I sold a bare 340 block for $600 and the only thing it had on it was cosmoline.

I agree that any knucklehead can tear one down(that's me). Haven't developed enough confidence to put one together. Probably could but as long as i can afford it i'll probably fork over the cash. I should do a stock build 318 so i wouldn't distroy much if i did it wrong or left something out like a piston or a lifter. I've sold cars that you guys wouldn't give $50 for much less the four digit sum i sold it for. That was what the man wanted and was willing to pay. That constitutes a deal in my book. A wise man once told me " You will never go broke taking a profit "
