after getting quotes ranging $1200. ~ 2000.00 a fellow in the machine shop asked me... what are you trying to do here??
do you care if it's stock 51??
so after hanging up, ten minutes and two phone calls later, I got luck on my side & found a rebuilt 292 w/ 200 miles on it for $600, all new starter, oil, fuel & H2O pump.
that was two + years ago
then the saga began

sometimes ya jus get lucky
