I'm STILL looking for an early-style block for my 46 Merc Truck. Morris' 56 is still running fine, but I have all the parts for the original engine and I'd sure like to get them off my shelf and back into a home.
Reason I'm bring it back up is 'cause I'm just getting to some clean-up and throwing out the 2nd block I bought off a member here. Looking back I'm not sure WHY the hell I even put them in my truck! One was rusted right through and the other has several holes where the piston hit it! Lesson - never buy blocks laying in the back of a barn, in the dark....
Of course I never would have sold them if they where mine either....

Jitney (Keith) - I was going to get one from him a couple years back, but I was 3rd in line at the time, so I looked around. Then I found these two that turned out to be crap....I may go back to him as his are $500 magnufluxed.
Trent - I'm around this week if you and Ron want to have coffee!
Snowking - Auctions are as much a crapshoot as are dark barns....but if you know the link, I'd look...
Thanks guys!
