Went to the lethbridge swap meet yesterday - old timer was selling a 302 long block for $250.
First one I have ever seen around here....
Looks like its a big heavy lump.. mind you not quite as heavy as the V12 jimmy that some one had for sale...
No one bought the 302

Me too. The ones in the yard are rusting away. It's getting hard to tell where the blocks end and the ground starts.

I didn't buy it - no use for it. If one of you sent $$$$ I'd try and find it. But you would need to make arrangements to get it shipped from Lethbridge to where ever you are at including dealing with US customs. I have no room here for it - all ready full house.

My New Year's resolution was "Get something done before getting something else." By the way, that was New Years 2009.
