Good Morning All! Freezing *** in Manitoba already I see! Holy cow.
Morning...
Well, its too early yet, body just wont adjust to the time.
Back to normal in about 14 hours.
3 hour layover in calgary, my chain smoking wife thinks it better to smoke heavy before flight than to cut back. Cant leave and cant smoke.

Too late.
Actually, the build is the goal, not the engine itself.
Say, are you ever in Pittsburg, Ray?

Nice looking engines that’s for sure. Wouldnt hurt to give johnny mac a shot at a quote.
You know what they say, the journey is the goal.
Not in a long time pretty far away from here.
Did that with the 440, prob double what a crate motor would cost, never again.
I'm thinking I should pick this up:
[FOR SALE] - 383 Edelbrock Torker
But I could have him ship it to you, I guess?
Was it worth it to go? I have never been there to Sema I mean. Vegas itself I can take or leave it. Been there prob ten times with the Air Force for exercises. Seen a bunch of guys get in serious trouble in Sin City!
Went over there, seems they only have small blocks. I have one of those already.
You can definitely find them cheaper than that un used also. Shoot me a want list you would be surprised what I find at Anders PO box!
Oh and don't say just "pistons" need to know the size and if they are oversize same with bearings, rings etc.
How much is it to ship that container over there?
I'm set to pay $100 for the block. The container all in all - I don't know.
That's a good price on a un bored block. Just bare or has the rotating assembly also.
No, that's just the shipping on it ... Don't ask what I'll be paying for the block.
Might be cheaper just to get a complete running engine. Prob around 5-800 depending on the year you want and 383 or 400.
True that. Already paid for the block, though. Cleaned and checked. That's worth something.
Anders want list. Think this is what he is doing 383 rods, 440 crank and 400 block?
