    Where abouts are you 72?? I live in gloucester, u we might have some parts we could exchange. Also, there is a wrecker i visited a couple months back, and although we hate their customer service skills, they have what we want. The guy has about 60 acres of inventory and its all older cars. You might find a big block buick there, i found some very hard to get stuff there. HIs prices suck though, and i dunno if i want to pay $1200 for a used 455 out of a wrecker, but u might be able to negotiate it down. Give him a call, see what he says. The place is called Stephens Auto, 6591 Fernbank Rd, Stittsville, ON K2S 1B6 - (613) 836-2442

    It's tuff trying to find these motors in Ontario. All the cars have rotted out and are gone. I have one in my garage, pulled from a 71 Centurion sitting in a farmers field, I payed $150 for the whole car and the engine is seized. There's another one west of me in a 70 Electra, the car's shot , it runs and they want $1000 for it. :Dou:
