Eli has a couple freshly re-nic 245 blocks with front halves for sale. It's like Ford vs Chevy debate. Your intentions and the hull to be used would help. Mike

This one went south quickly...

A serious comment: if it is a 2.5 liter block, it is important to clean the passages behind the liner that feed the ports. You need a pressure washer for that.__PRESENT

how are you guys doing/???? with the coming storm.....Thread slide....

Close the shutters , put the bars thru the big garage doors .. and wait for the sound of the neighbor's pool enclosure frame to slam into the side of the house. Then get picked up and get slammed into the house across the street. Tree's flyin thru the air .. quite the show Mother Nature put on .. :)
Then we'll go out and live in the motorhome till the letric comes back on ... :thumbsup:
