damn that sucks david! good to know they are fixing it though...post up some progress when they get it fixed

[nuke1]

David, I feel your pain bud, hope all works out well for you, but whatever you do DO NOT SELL it for a reason as measly as this, let it sit and when you have the funds/time you can get back to her, you will regret it every day fro the rest of your life!!!! trust me. What you need to do is step back, look at her and say I built you and be Darned if you are gonna crush me!!! Things will work out in the end, heck look at what I am going through right now< it ends up being just learning experiences in the end. Later

I hope this works for me, it may save someone else reading this too. I wasn't aware that this was an option.

Thanks James! I got chewed out by my brother when I mentioned selling it. Don't think that is an option......he's bigger than me. I did just what you said, I looked at it today and thought "you have not beaten me yet". Maybe I said it out loud....things are kinda fuzzy right now! This is a hard learned experience, one I wish had not happened.

Yep....hangin on to it for awhile cause she is my sancha. As for the A/C it is on hold for a while or at least till I know that the cost will be completely left up to me.

[67chevy1series]

hows the breeze with those open holes in the fire wall? for now you should cut a peice of metal out that will cover the holes and then drill holes in it that match the holes on the firewall to mount all the A/C boxes to, and just get a gasket to go in between and it will be sealed until you get the A/C figured out.... just my cent

Thanks Jeff! He was supposed to come by today around lunch time and was a no show. Something tells me it's going to be awhile before he even looks at it.

He needs to know that you have 80,000 buddies that want him to get it fixed. Maybe that will motivate him. that's a big family to mess with.

Well he came by yesterday evening, I wasn't there but did talk to him this morning. A new block is the only answer so he is going to be lookin for a 327 1966 or older like what I have. Now we gotta see how long it's gonna take him. Started tearing my engine down today and got a little done.

[butternut1972]

That's a bummer. I know I live a few hours from ya, but I have a friend that owns a machine shop so I will put out the word if you can't find what your looking for. There's lots of car guy's up here and I'm sure he could find one of the year you want.

[Drummerboy]

Looking good!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=209788

Thanks butternut. I am going to see how long he "looks" for the 327. If it is taking longer than expected then I will be in the market for one. I'm keepin you in mind on this and will PM ya when/if that time comes. Hope he gets off his butt and puts forth some effort. My friends dad has a 350 long that he will sell to me for $100, but that would be a last resort.

I appreciate the jealousy!! It will get done one day, it's all up to the engine builder now and I'm just along for the ride.

Let's see what the builder does. If he starts sittin on his laurels and wastin time finding a block I would be interested. The oil tube in the front is just the type of manifold I have (old school) so it would probably work. Keepin my fingers crossed that an old one pops up. We are heading to San Antonio in the morning and should be gettin back Saturday evening, but would like to catch up with ya. May get up to your neck of the woods one weekend soon to see your new stuff and your project!

[nuke1]

Uh, I hate to say this to you, But I have a few of them up here, if you were closer, you could just have it. no charge bud. Sorry for the inconvience. guess it is still gonna be a race who gets theirs done first. Oh well, just a few pops owing one way or the other any way. Just make sure not to scratch MY paint on that truck that you are tearing the engine down on EH!!!! LOL. I get first dibbs if ya sell her. Then at least I will have one finished truck. Kiddin bud, All will work out in the end!!

HAHAHHA!! I'll do my best not to scratch YOUR truck! I really appreciate the offer on the block, too bad it's a little far. Going to finish pulling the engine tomorrow or Tuesday, then we'll see how fast I get another.
