your welcome , we try to help out, BTW
put an add in your local paper, craigs list and bargain trader magazines saying your looking for an early hemi engine to rebuild tor your t-bucket,(I would not pass on a 500 caddy if that comes up) you might be amazed at the number of old engines guys have stashed in sheds and under work benches they may sell semi reasonably , but be aware theres a few scammers and thieves out there so
I would not go out with a pocket full of cash alone and un-able to protect myself, answering those add responses , ask lots of questions and if the guy does not seem to know what your talking about Id pass, you may miss some deals but your less likely to deal with thieves and ,morons
I generally took two friends
(Jack whose a retired cop and Allen whos about 6'5" and 300 lbs of muscle, and into martial arts ) Im 6"3 and 270 and I can assure you there was a few times that the guys answering adds I placed did not have the merchandise they said they had and it looked like it may have been a potentially iffy situation.
