The engine is on a stand on a trailer, and eventually I would like for it to be running and painted to take to shows.

It's still possible I can get it running for that purpose, but if it were to go in a vehicle it will need to be bored and a new set of pistons.

So far I have not found a set of pistons. I have found several different half sets (for a 351 v6) but not yet have I found two half sets by he same manufacturer or same oversize. As it is not going in a vehicle it's not worth the several thousand it would cost for new pistons and a proper rebuild.

I am looking at a second engine, just a short block, that may be used to get mine running, but no luck working out a deal yet.
