why does the block bother you so much? Fix it.

Not that easy Sammy. That means the car goes one way and the block goes another way - I am in Canada, remember, not really a glut of good cast-iron welders up here. And the logistical nightmare of shipping car then shipping motor, then shipping motor back up to car after it is done. And can that kind of weld be done right without being done from both sides? i.e, pull the dyno-ed, assembled motor all apart again....Oy! And have already been turned down by two shippers today who say they won't touch a car with no front wheels with its subframe sitting on a dolly. Just too much hassle all around. Pass.

It seems there are no good sorted-out driver '69 Z28s out there in the 35-40K range. None. (Unless you like green...inside and out) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

I'd ask a few farmers who does cast iron welding. You might be surprised how common it is.

I am sure there are some great welders in Canada. They are more industrious than us. I don't see why the motor would have to come apart to do that particular job and about the dyno stuff.........what does that really mean?
