[wired247]

What do you want for the heads?

[merc25jo]

Heads went to Brack earlier today.. pending payment

[TEXAS20225]

this looks like a cdm block or was did it have oring heads ?

[tux974]

Bobby, he is stating that it was decked to use gasket heads so I would say it was.
Sounds like a decent price if Ruck did all the work.

[TEXAS20225]

Tony i see it now:rolleyes: 2012 is about when the other guy took over ive seen two blocks from him( my own) i stopped using him for my work

[tux974]

Bobby,:iagree: That is why I added this to my post.....;):D

Dang....wish the guy I purchased this from would chime in and confirm when exactly it was done and which guy..I would like to know for sure myself. I was told Ruck, and at the time I didn't know there was a someone taking his place.

Did he give you the work sheet? Ruck always sent a sheet with the parts.
Just trying to help.

[mike taylor]

I give 500.00 for block and front.

Got the stacks today. Thankx Joe

[AlfonzoDamnoflis]

Interested in block. if its still available?

[merc25jo]

Block is sold. Only thing left is the carbs..thanks

[bullet20vee]

Would there be any advantage to running those 245 carbs on a 2.5 200 with cut heads and a cut front half over the 200 carbs? Or would it just be too much?

[merc25jo]

I would say it would be way too rich for the 200..i have no personal experience with it tho :confused:

Ron purchased the business did not really TAKE over till late '13/early'14 and Jim was (and kinda is) still workin there part time and has overseen pretty much everything that was going out of the shop till recently. I know Ron sucks at answering/returning phone calls but I haven't heard of him turning out chit work....if someone has an issue that isn't in their favor I could possibly be of assistance and would be willing to lend a hand to a fellow S&F brotheran

[TEXAS20225]

i dont make stuff up, it was just what i said two shxxxxty blocks at 675. each, i know Jim very well i could tell instantly i was not from him the date does not matter on my issue the number two guy did them jim told me he did and tried to convince me they would be ok , i would not accept it had my new number one guy fix them thats the whole unaltered story , like i said that water is under the bridge and out in the ocean ,

[Schramer]

Well I wasn't calling you a liar at all....I was just saying what I knew. Maybe Ron was gettin a few out when Jim wasn't around. Like you said we must move on I guess......the true ubber anal craftsmen cant live and work forever eh!
