Hit the jackpot today
I lucked up today and found 2 big blocks with 727s still attached. I will be getting them Saturday and will have the block numbers. I have the intake number but can't find anything on them. I can't get the pics small enough to upload

Both ended up being 440's. One is a 75 the other is a 76. Both have 452 heads I was able to get the 75 to rotate. Now I just have to get the truck to the house and get busy building.

I'll have to look up Mary Esther, Florida on the map so that I can nuke it...
Damn! Looks like you're safe. My nearest friends are in Titusville.

Re: Hit the jackpot today
I work in scrap yards all the time and happened to see two motor holmes. They were going to be crushed Monday so they let me have the engines if I pulled them. It will shock you to see some of the things that come through a scrap yard.

Re: Hit the jackpot today
Not any time soon. I once had the occasion to peruse the scrapping of a Navy vessel. Curiously, it was a WWII seaplane tender of which I'd built a model as a small kid, the USS Currituck. The Oakland-Alemda Estuary, CA where I lived had been a naval refitting station during the war. There was a LOT off cool junk to be seen at the various dealers, of which I got to take advantage while restoring old yachts. So yeah, whilst I can envision such as usual... Two 440s in one score? There are not a few around here who'd give a bundle to find one.Volvomechanic wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 7:45 pmIt will shock you to see some of the things that come through a scrap yard.
Maybe someday I'll forgive you.

I got very lucky there is not much Mopar stuff to be found around here.

If you find an extra motor home pan and pickup for big block I need one for my 413, I'm in Florida
