[RICK LAKE]

patrickt Come on Pat, You are going from big brother to little bother?I going to tell MOM. I knew one had a date code. I was not sure if the block was Aluminium or iron. I would n't get Ray into a pickle with NJ super techs. I also know where a couple of blocks might be for sale at a top price. He will have the motor painted anyway, so there will be no problem with inspection. I think Ray might be happier with a new block then a 35+ year old motor that we have no info on. I wrote before about sonic check and see the sheet on this block. We don't have a price. Jay Brown has his writeup in Car Craft with a 445 FE low buck Buildup. There is nothing wrong with a 390 and a storker kit to make a 445 motor. We are getting to fast here when the car is 9 months away. Rick L. We need to look at transmissions, rearend gearing, Oh BOY IS THIS GREAT!!!!
