hello my name is 70blowngmc and im a addict
i eat mustangs and cougars and and all birds
i just bought a 70 gmc truck last year for 4500 with a 350 3 spd posi rear end it has a radical cam in it and a edel 600 carb hedmans headers / so about 2 months ago i put it my brother in law (x wife thank god ) shop and started to remove the 350 and transmission so i found a 350 4 bolt main for 100 bucks standard bore so i was happy that it wasnt bore out had it taken to machine shop for cleaning and fluxing for cracks all ok then i called around for price on machining after the first place told me about 1700 for all machine work then i remember that this one place so i call and he gave me 1000 with assy of the short block ,i couldnt pass that up at all (thanks paul ) so i now i got to find the parts and heads for what i want to build at this time im starting to druel got out some old hot rod mags. and check online for stuff then i found a web called craiglist and found that there was alot of people selling cars and parts so i see a ad for sbc heads edelbrock alum. for 700 pr. so i check around and see that they run around 500 ea so i called the dude and he said he had them on for 2k miles we agreed to meet half way point from each other so i did a map search of where is halfway --hmmm san quentin yep san quentin prison was the halfway point so we meet outside of the gate area i figure its got to be the safest place to do a transaction so the heads were nice shape not crack by eye everything look fresh and clean he had a 2 pieace timing cover edelbrocks and a alum. jegs water pump he wanted anthor 100 i said sorry i didnt bring extra cash so he threw that in the deal too didnt want to deal with it anymore so i got a great deal then i found a ad in hot rod about this engine kit online so i look up there web page and found a great deal on rotorary assy. heads crank cams etc (enginekits.com)-cont.> |
