Some of these older original parts can be hard to find in the junkyard.I went to several ones and did not find the plate of the proper thickness to go in betwen a 289 and a C4. I had to go to this guy and he wanted more for it then the junkyards did and they did not have it so that goes to show you how some of this older stuff is hard to find at just a regular junkyard. The 289 blocks are hard to come by also and the one that i had taken out of the car had a sleeve in it that the machine shop found so i ended up using a 302 block
that the machine shop got for me.
