So,

Got all the parts except the freeze plugs but George had a set at the shop...so I dropped off all my bearings and the pistons for the final sizing..so I should have everything (minus the heads) back by the weekend!

Yeah, he flipped me a cheque and I flipped the 327 his way. I bought it and resold it, like a true flipper. Had it for about 15 years taking up space in the corner of my garage and sold it for exactly what I paid for it, right to the penny!

My name is Carl, and I'm a flipper........................

 Oh, don't worry, I had to talk myself through that with this one.

It helps to look in the mirror, see all those gray hairs, then look at the bank statement and see how many more years the cottage mortgage has to go............  That makes it easier to sell. I can give you a bunch more similar tips as well...

Looks like its coming along on a fast pace. That block looks nice and clean. Next time your there could you ask him if he has the equipment to clean up rusty blocks. I think they use a shot blasting cabinet and the cost. i got a block that was hot tanked years ago but got all rusty over the years.
