I bought a 400 block and crank in '97... finally got the car together and on the road early in '19. Yes, it took me 22 years of start & stop, accumulating parts, two moves, marriage, divorce... life in general.
It's still not done, probably never will be 100% complete, but I can drive it to the local cruise-ins.
Don't give up and get rid of it. As soon as you do, you'll wish you had it again ;)
