Parking up for the W word

[UK PONY]

At least I'm not the only one...lol. Sorry to hear of some of the other circumstances for the layups though.

Like it or not folks that W word is coming sooner or later.

Any update on your plans?

It's looking very strongly towards a 351W based motor. If I go this way I won't be making the engine run to it's full potential for a year or so until I upgrade some other parts. Right now I'm saving just about every extra penny I can, (living like a hermit, severe cut back on my eating out, and extras). Checking out what extra parts I have in the garage I can sell. Gave up on the winter vacation, unless I win the lottery. I'm trying to get the $$$ together by Christmas time to get all the parts here and start the build so that I can be back on the track in the spring.

BTW anybody want to buy a slightly used 331 block? Low miles, probably less than 5000K on it. First offer over $10 can come pick it up.

Hmmm too large for a paperweight or doorstop. You could always leave the heads off and plant flowers in the cylinders.
