Dave I have sold V8's to folks to rebuild for $100-$200 with no issues. They were all happy and satisfied. That's why I don't buy into the idea that, well it cost too much and the block is probably no good so junk it. In fact I thinned down my V8 engine supply fairly easily to the point I got worried and bought more engines. Personally, every aspect of this hobby cost more than any early Ford is worth and it makes no practicle sense to spend $1 on one of these cars. It's a hobby and I enjoy it. That is why I do it. I guess I could start smoking dope instead? I just can't be that negative about the hobby.
