    There is a rear seal there... 2 piece that I purchased.
    You can keep it as I no longer need it.
    Do you know the price of cam bearings?
    I'll see what I can do money wise.. So don't get in any hurry on anything yet.
    Very good deal on the motor, and I appreciate it.
    And no problem for helping out at the track. Even tho I'm not very motor savvy, I enjoy helping with what I can.
    I'll PM you w/ more...

    Hey, if your going to scrap that block, let me know.
    Is it still usable if you concrete it?
    Just wondering as David may want it for a spare block... If so he can have it. I dont want a concreted block and try to drive it on the street (if i ever get a title)

    A junk block is good to have around for mock-up (if you have the room to store one). Seems like someone is always needing one in my circle.

    Know what you mean on that. I even have one bolted to the scraper blade on my 1940 Ford 9N tractor, for weight. Got several 351's and a 428 block stored away. It is the early 302's that are getting hard to find. In fact any of the older Ford stuff is scarce, just have to root it out of yards and barns. Went to the first day of a four day swap meet, found two trailer loads of 292's, flatheads and some misc. trannys etc. Will see again tomorrow what the guys bring in today, for me to druel over. Did stop at the scrap yard on the way home and low and behold, right there on the ground, was an H servo for a C4, Grabbed it up and gave the man .60 aluminum weight for it. Junk yards are cool places to hang out.

    Dang you... I was looking for one of those Saturday. I didn't find one.
    I do have a R, but wanted the H.
    Maybe I'll luck into that.
    What time are you going to the swap meet tomorrow?
