Thanks to another member - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Brad · 09-10-2008, 03:13 AM

I just wanted to thank Terry, aka '77 350 Shorty Wide' again for the 350 sbc complete with all the trimmings (alt, starter, extra heads, h2o pump, ps pump, etc) all for FREE! It was a pleasure meeting him and the gf and I had a fantastic day trip out there taking the scenic route near Mt. St. Helens and then over to Yakima and back to Portland. Another fine member was met and hopefully I talked him into attending the NW meet on the 20th.
Btw, you can still fit a SBC into a new F*RD.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-10-2008, 10:16 AM

That's pretty awesome!

ChevLoRay · 09-10-2008, 10:56 AM

Zumo · 09-10-2008, 12:37 PM

Cool. Whatcha gone do wiff it?

Brad · 09-10-2008, 12:46 PM

I'm not exactly sure, but I couldn't pass up a nice drive, meeting another cool member, and the free sbc!

big_al_71 · 09-10-2008, 02:50 PM

Free is always good!!!!

It is not the destination is the journey and the friends we make along the way...

Longhorn Man · 09-10-2008, 03:47 PM

I'll one up your rear engine SBchevy Ford Focus, with a big block caddy rear engine town car!

Mine wasn't free though.
Although, a now ex girlfriend bought for it for me, so I guess it was kinda free.

That applies to all of us for the most part, but Andy is a BIG spender isn't he.

Brad- I can't believe she let you put that in the back of her car. It is "her" car isn't it?...

**oldiron** · 09-10-2008, 10:37 PM

Looks like a great gift from another member to you.

Mr79C10 · 09-11-2008, 04:49 AM

Yeah, she actually offered her car for this due to the gas mileage issue. I made sure to pack the engine so it wouldn't get her car dirty. We had just done a deep clean about a week earlier too. She's pretty cool- she's a big fan of classic cars and on our first date jumped out of her seat when she found out I had a Camaro.

I've always thought the Ford Focus was incredibly ugly, but I must admit it did pretty well and hey, at least it's an American car.

77 350 Shorty Wide · 09-11-2008, 11:25 AM

Good Morning All, Thanks Brad for the kind words and I hope you can get good use from all the parts. 72BlckButy, No not A Steal, just one guy trying to help out another. It was Great meeting you and your Lady. I hope we can continue to help each other and others as they need.

Brad thank you for what you have done for all of us!

God Bless, Terry

Longhorn Man · 09-11-2008, 03:36 PM

Andy, based on the interactions I've had, he is!

BarryB · 09-12-2008, 05:12 PM

OH, I just might shed a tear,(not really!) people helping others out. That is almost unheard of anymore. Only if the rest of the world which catch on to it.
Thumb's Up to Terry. And thumb's up for Brad's GF for letting him haul a SBC in her car.
