With the punishment you've given it, I think it'll last a fair bit longer yet.

maybe his gearbox is too afraid to break down.

itching to see some torque curves, I reckon it will be curvier than jessica alba. I dont care if they are without bolt ons, even conservative readings should be awesome.

Salutations, mates;

Seen as how this is MY built 312c.i. I-6, your estimated cost is Incorrect!icon_eek.gif

The actual cost was $4246.00 U.S., I realize you're only off by about $3000.00 U.S., but I'm persnickety about things such as this. icon_wink.gif

that would be a '70's pushrod 250 or 300 at a guess, without going back through all the posts on here to find the first mention. Interesting and informative, but Joe's donk will be substantially dirrerent. Nothing in common apart from the bore centres and possibly the slug & rod sizes, if the donor engine is a 250. Nothing in common at all if it's a 300.

0+ = $3000 instead of $300 for the mathematically-challenged...
