How many engine blocks do YOU have?
OK, so I asked a similar question like this one a while back about how engine's have you built. But now coming from a different angle...how many engine blocks, FE's or not do you have lying around in your garage / shop / shed or even yard...hehe, all built-up and ready to go or all torn apart? I only have 1 extra block besides the big block 402 I'm running now...it's a shortblock 360. It is the original engine from my truck and who knows, someday it could be back in Juice only built-up a lot bigger. I would like to have some other big block FE's on hand in case I want to build something different. So, how many extra goodies do you have?

Just GAVE the 360 out of my '74 supercab to a buddy. I've sold a couple in the past.
As of right now in my shop I've got:
1 302 & 1 foam block for mock up
(borrowing that from a buddy)
2-3 351w
2 cummins 6bt
and I think that's it'.
I've recently gotten rid of the last FE I had and also another 302 I had sitting here.

I've got 3 FE motors, 1 big block chevy, 1 small block chevy (434 running about 750 hp), and 2 Dodge 440's. These are all not in any vehicles. Some day I want to find a 1966 Nova for the 434.

1 Dodge Slant Six engine
1 Kawasaki ZX7R engine
1 Nissan R24DET block
2 Jeep 258 engines

I'm down to 2 460 blocks. The one that is currently in my truck and one spare. I gave away a complete 351M to the kid up the street a while back.

I've only got two. One is a hot 289 that I used to run in my 68 Cougar and the other is a 360 shortblock the Chasetruck754 gave me last week because he doesn't run FE's. The 360 will get stroked for one of my dents in the future.
Since everyone is mentioning their Briggs engines I may as well throw in the 11 HP horizontal I recently took off my air compressor.
