Good idea!

I think someone said they saw it in the classifieds on another site a while back.

On a side note - here's a few pics of how I was using those car dollies while working on my swap this weekend. They sure make life easier when I'm the only one around and I have to move some HEAVY stuff... Anybody need a D70 rear out of a Dodge???

Ha.... anything is for sale! Well that's what they say anyway.....

A few months back we were talking about moving to CO and that move would be a lot easier without the Crew in tow. So we haven't heard from the job in CO, so while we were waiting, one of my parents houses became available and we decided to go that route.... for now.

Update....

Hey Guys......

Just thought I would stop by and say Hello! Since our move into the new house (still getting things settled), the project has been just sitting warm and cozy in the garage. Hope to be getting back to it before long.

Nothing like a new motor to get things rolling....

I found this one on Craigslist for a reasonable price! The short block is ready to go, all built with Cummins West bearings and gaskets. ARP head studs, nice HX35, built P7100 and all misc pieces. Just need to get a head.... o-ringed and ported.










So I will be getting back to this project after the holidays!
