Why would I do that

Post by Rebel »

Very weak moment yesterday. Went out to pic my Mothers car up at a shop outside of town and while paying the guy, I broke down and asked if he had any 350 roller blocks laying around. Of course he said yes I have two. One he didn't know anything about and the other he pulled from a truck that needed rings. He took me over to the motor which was complete. I asked what he wanted for it, hoping he'd say a couple of hundred but no,,had to be a deal at a weak moment,,$60.00 will do it,,,you know the rest of the story. Now what the heck will I do with this ? Ummmmm,,Jimmy has 120,000 miles on it,,who knows ?

And you said you were done. Yep "no more" I think is what you said. Yep "Done only paint and nothing else". I can now see a 383 with a roller in it coming to the van. I knew it would happen, just that one more thing. LOL I think that "Never say Never" fits here really well! Whites performance on Ebay has the kit on there right now. "NO MORE" Yeah sure Larry.
1989 RS Astro, V-8 and maybe a shift it myself tranny, still deciding on this one. Dutch doors, Cad tail lights, shaving the rest now. 12 bolt rear end was in the van when I got it but changing how it sets to lower.
