Awesome! I have a white 65 Fury 2 door cop car that my great uncle bought in 66 and one of my first memories is going to pick up my mom's new 65 Belvedere 4 door 6 cyl 3 on the tree...........

A bare block is a couple to few hundred dollars depending on location. Then you magnaflux it to check for cracks and hope its good. That is why I say the $600 delivered for the eBay block is not bad because its been cleaned and checked for cracks. In my opinion its not a bad deal.

Forget that $2500 block. The other one is a cleaned up core that supposedly is crack free. If so, its a reasonable deal. But it does say it will need cyl boring and maybe line boring so you need to figure on shop costs for that. 73-75 block - I think that's fine.

Oh yeah it does. It does for me at least.

I agree. I lightly spin the lifter with one hand and slowly tighten till I feel the least bit resistance then do the 1/2 turn.

She is doing great right now. Thanks!

Yesterday Gemma went for her monthly chemo follow-up. They dressed her up in an Easter outfit. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I like challenges like this. I don't have great pictures, but my 65 Cop car was missing most of its Leece Neville alternator brackets. From a picture on the internet and seeing one setup in person, I made most of the brackets. I was able to source one of the idler pulley brackets as it is a...
