No meanness in this thread, all TC and pokey sarcasm.
A friend of mine, Rockabilly singer guitar player, is liquidating some stuff since he bought a nice spread in Teehass. Has an early 265 Corvette motor with a z28 top end and 327 crank. Sat for years, thinking about picking it up, freshening and flipping it or sticking it in a 51 Chevy of my Fathers putting together for his wife. Picking up a 426 wedge too, runner. Was looking at a '73 4x4 for 1,500. Straight in primer no motor or trans. Trying to get my brother to sht or get off the pot on a dart he has let sit in the carport for 22 yrs. I put a motor in it for him all he had to do is fix the brakes and register it and instead he blows the engine in a 66 Valiant and goes and Yanks that motor out of the dark and sticks it in the valiant just so it can burn another exhaust valve with the same induction set up. One runner is so bad ..its killed 2 engines exh valves. He is the complete opposite of me...and its difficult to work around.lol
