I won't even try to add all the other stuff you guys have been talking about, like body parts, wheels, tires, nuts/bolts etc. It would take me too long to do inventory, and even longer to type it up. Suffice it to say, I have a 2400 sq. ft. shop, and it has reached, or exceeded, maximum density. There is even a loft, and THAT is full. There's only 4 cars and 2 bikes in there, the rest is all...just...STUFF! -TD

I personally have:
2 complete 351 clevelands
4 cleveland heads
1 5.0
2 C6 trannies
My dad shares the same space and has at least 5 or 6, 5 liters. As far as heads, he has multiple sets and least three trannies. My mom is so disgusted with it she won't even go into the garage anymore.

One single complete 427 side-oiler. Had it since I bought it in 1987. Has followed me from Florida to Indiana when my only other wordly posessions (after divorce) were my truck, clothes, computer, tools, and some guns.

Sorry 'bout the tough times. At least you had your truck to keep you company. I know when I've had some rough times (loss of relatives) my truck has helped me pull through it (not like a person, but more like a dog, just always there for you even if it can't talk back).

I have one complete 440-3...100% complete actually (all accessories, manifolds, etc etc) with an auto tranny behind it (goes in a motorhome I bought, which only has a 318 in it).

Pretty soon I will have a 351 block and be building that in my garage.

I'm only 20 so I'm just starting out with engines.

Thank you kind sir for your concern; I have been very fortunate in these past 11 years. You can't keep a good man down.

351W complete, low mileage
Edelbrock Alum heads
JBA headers
5.0, old and tired
Bumpers
2 Radiators
more tires and wheels than I care to count (Why am I saving all of these?)
transfer case from 95 Bronco
D44
8.8
E40d tranny
boxes and boxes of parts from Fords, Boat stuff, probably even some old L series Datsun stuff
and so on...

Sometimes I wonder what I save all of this for, were a funny bunch, ya know, we would consider buildinga larger shop before we would consider getting rid of our "treasures"!
