It helps to have a freind with a machine shop! Here's what I got for a $1000., boiled block,magnafluxed all parts,decked block,cut and polished crank,re sized the rods,bored .20 over,all new bearings,pistons and rings,double roller,melling oil pump,complete gasket set.He and I will put together after work one evening.Won't be too much longer this thing will be on road and I'll be looking for something to do! Another old drag racing buddy who happens to be great trans man,rebuilt the TH350, shift kit,etc. and got me a turbo action converter, that totaled $825.Very fortunate to have some good motor heads for freinds.
