Yeah my small block is waiting on balancing. Its done today Now just gotta go pick it up and get bottom end together. Will just be waiting on some cash flow to find a decent seat of heads.


Big block is waiting on head porting. The guy that is porting and flow benching the heads, was pushing a shop cart at high rates of speed in wal mart parking lot and totaled the cart and screw up a hand, had to have surgery,lol. So waiting on him now for like a month. He said they will be done tomorrow,but i doubt it.

I need to find a complete 2v. It can have a cracked block, broken rod, etc doesn't matter. I just need a lot of misc parts like, pan, front cover, valve covers, misc bolts, and i would like to have spare parts. I've tried eBay, CR, and a few yards with no luck. The cheapest I found was $800. A y suggestions?

I tried all the CR city searches within 300 miles of me. One yard wanted $900 for a 97 that wasn't running. I need to keep trying yards and rebuilders for something hopefully under $400

Check for people parting out their trucks. Lot of time you can talk then into engine/tranny deals. I go to auto parts section and just search f150. Then scroll my life away.
