    Looking for a running or rebuildable short block within 150 miles of Philadelphia, PA.

    I specifically need a block, pan, crank, & rods (& pistons if its a runner). The year and model its out of is irrelavant to me.

    Thanks very much :bglasses:

    Thanks, I just lost my balanced and blueprinted shortblock after less than 50 miles. I have to get the motor/trans to the machine shop to be disected for the cause, but if it was internal the machine shop will cover it. I just need to find parts. If it was the converter/trans ballooning (which I just can't see happening this early on) then I'm on my own.

    Definately let me know, thanks!

    I will know about the crank on Monday. Is all of your stuff junk? Who did the engine?

    Jess Miller Machine Shop in West Chester... I have to drop the motor/trans combo off for them to dissect it this week.

    They're in the position to be heros, and I'm crossing my fingers that they'll make it right.

    I'm just trying to source parts now, because I know how long it takes to come up with this stuff. :(

    When I got my first core, it was only 30 miles away and there were 3 that I was looking at in the area. Now theres nothing... damn.
