Thanks Phillip,
I don't have a core but I did contact them about an engine via e-mail as I no longer live in the States. I retired and now live in sunny South America with my Wife who has worked for the US Embassy here for 15 years. lots of Chevy's here from the 50s' so a core should be no problem...Probably finding a rebuilder here, as nothing is wasted, is also the way to go. The shipping of parts is killin me. Thanks, Dave.
