Magnum Adventure

Hold up,
Have you check the Pick n Pulls in your state?

I just checked in Missouri and the pick pulls have ram vans that may have what you need. You can use your heads and block to get your core charge back and they do have 30 day exchange on parts.

You can get a long block for under $200. with core charge.

I looked at a map and I know they are not close to you but if you can scrimp enough for gas to get there and back you may have a complete engine for a couple hundred bucks.

I am sure there are other wrecking yards nearby that may have decent prices.

Or... try craigslist...http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/us/mo
I punched in 5.9 and saw people in Springfield selling 5.9 and 5.2 Magnum engines, maybe you can score an engine from a wrecked truck or van on the cheap!

Money is slowing me down on my projects now but I just try to work my way around it when I can.

Give it a shot. O:)

Return the unopened items like oil pan and pickup to Summit Racing. Part out as much of this motor as possible and then move to another another short block and heads. Sell off the custom Comp roller cam 224/230 .513" on 110 LSA. Not sure what I am going to do with the stainless steel bolt kit for magnum engines I have.
