Beater,

I am in Northern Nevada as well...

I have a 65 C20 with a 292 and was going to do all the afore written things to it but then came accross the El Camino in Carson, which gave me a lighter weight blank canvas. I have a Goodwrench 292 shortblock from a surplused BLM truck and a 230 with all new .40 over 250 inerds. The 230 doesn't need the 40 over but got the whole 250 kit (bearings, crank, rods, pistons, etc) for $200 and the 230 for $100.

So I am at a crossroads. I am hoping that someone here has been through this so I might not have to suffer the same trials and tribulations.

I know that's being lazy but I just joined the inline craze and some of ya'all have been at this for years.

Regards,
Rick
