Congrats! I remember searching for one years ago but kinda gave up with different priorities taking over. Maybe someday I'll join your ranks!

I plan on keeping it. Next weekend I pick up the parts I bought with it.

Also. Part of the payment was the crapbox S10 I have. So one Chevy will be gone. :D

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
200 and 250 are all over oregon and washington. I had a 64 falcon that had a 200. I junked it for a 250. Portland engine rebuilders made me the claim they could build me a 500horse 250 that would give me 5 good runs down the track for the low low price of $10,000. ended up with a 390 swap with an edelbrock tri-power when I decided it was time for more power.

Haaaa haaaa, I have had my 67 big block fastback for over 20 years and I still have not finished it!!! It is sanded down and waiting paint and waiting for me to put in my New in the crate 427 side oiler. I bough the side oiler over 28 years ago and it is still in the crate. One day I will finish it. one day I will finish it. One day I will finish it....I keep saying this over and over again...lol

One thing about 'Stangs. I have owned a few of them and they are like my old filled in swimming pool..a big money pit!!!

I have a complete 200, in a pile.

I'd ship it, but something tells me shipping on an engine from Harrisburg to Heaven would be steep.
