The 5th time I put a V-6 T-Bird blown head gasket motor back together and it STILL leaked water to the pistons despite milling heads (3X) and...

So 10 years back the newspaper add said "'56 chevy engine, $25.00". We got in touch a few days later and it turned out to be a "rebuilt, but but...

I grew up looking at sbc's that were red -- not orange red. A red engine with a bit of chrome and some black on accessories (which are not hung...
My heart's with you bro. About a year after I lost mine it suddenly hit me that there was no one I could trust on the other end of the tow chain...
And also invest a call to "Old Car Parts Northwest", no cerainity, but he's got several containers filled with the good stuff.
I still have faith in RockAuto, its been awhile since they've surprised me by not having something I needed.
