Jim A Wrench Fetcher J Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 45 Northern California	My son and I purchased a '49 6400 this fall, only to discover the engine is shot. Massive freeze damage has destroyed the block. We're looking for a replacement and we're open to options. Anyone that has a suitable replacement for sale, is our new best friend. We're in Northern California. Please contact me here or at "[email protected]" Thanks, Jim Last edited by Jim A; 01/31/2008 11:42 PM.

GMC engines are a good choice also. Spanky Hardy Collector Of Fine Old G.M.
