Great weekend.

I have a Question:

Who in CT would you recommend that can build an FE big block? I want to massage my 74 360 and stick it back in my F350.

Who in this state has experience (anymore) with FE big blocks?

Thanks,

We used to bring our stuff to Dalena's auto parts in New Britain, they have a machine shop and would do complete rebuilds. That was years ago, not even sure if they still do it.

Morning everyone!

Good evening everyone!

Am now minivan-less after today, we ended up selling it. My wife gets the Prius and I get the guzzling Lincoln to drive around for the next year or so.

I am presently looking at the C-max for us. Either that or a newer Fusion. I think the C-max has a bit better room though. We have also looked at the new Escape. Lose the mileage, but enjoy the 4wd and ecoboost. I think the space is similar, but haven't checked them out in person yet. Still need to keep the overall monthly cost the same though. Yay, money!
