    Well I started this morning at 8:00 at the junk yard BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRR it was chilly. I got a double hump tranny member and an engine crossmember for 25.00.

    Picked up my distributor I ordered from Advanced Auto Parts along with some Taylor wires and Blue Steak cap and rotor set. 150.00

    Got back home and my flexplate, engine spacer and new timing cover I won from e-bay was leaning against my door. 58.00

    Called Jegs and ordered my cam and valve springs along with some timing tape for my balancer and some other small things, fittings, gas filter, ect. 189.00

    Ended the day dropping my heads off at the head builders to port and polish my heads and gasket match my intake. 145.00

    All I need now is:
    V-8 engine stands
    302 bell housing
    Alternator bracket
    v-8 fan shroud
    600 CFM carb (preferably an Edelbrock)

    Now I'm broke...........til next week :slap:
