What's going on????

Its a wonder why we have to horde parts. I've been saving manifolds, blocks and cranks for years. Glad I did because its so hard to find. Where I live there are no barn finds nor any old motors sitting around after Hurricane Katrina. Where once a 318 was an easy thing to find. Its like finding a needle in a hay stack. My town used to have 3 junk yards now we have 0. I'm gonna go big block for my next build. Seems theres alot out there. Like if I want an aftermarket block I can buy one and dont have to worry about an R3 block that discontinued.
