My wifes uncle used to professionally drag race in the late 70's and early 80's. We don't see him much, and when we do, it's usually going out to eat somewhere or at their camper during the summer. We finally went to their house a few weeks back. I was talking about some issues I had with my engine. He said he had some extra small block stuff if I wanted it. He thought he had an aluminum Corvette intake, but couldn't find it, but I did get this. It was brand new still in the box, but the box was rotten. The windage tray was also rusted a little but the pan is aluminum. He has some big block stuff I can have, but I didn't have room in my wife's car for anything else. I will be going back though.

It's actually a small block pan. I don't know how many quarts it holds and he couldn't remember.

I do like the BB idea either way though.

A couple of my uncles have old cars here and there, but I only see them once or twice a year, also. Not really too close to them. Nice score. You will be the perfect nephew in-law, if there is such a thing
