Ask him if he can register the names you want, at what price/how long etc.

He'll register it in your name and you'll be the legal owner.

He'll be able to give more detail.

Hmm.

I'll speak to you on Sunday.

This time I'm opting to use 305ci Chevy lumps (as they're not very disirable). Note I say lumps.
Yes, two, in fact. Back to back.

Acquisition #1 ????

Titsy had a good idea involving a Straight Six motor, too . . . .

I need to retire to do all this . . .

Titsy had a good idea involving a Straight Six motor, too . . . .

Yup,

No head; glass bolted onto the block; crank, pistons, and rods still in place; electric motor drive on the crank so that the pistons slowly move up and down in view through the glass...

The block forms the central support of a rectangular table, with maybe a small support frame under the sump to lift it up a little...

Visually very involving (I think), but with the head up missing there are a lot less shiney things to wory about bolting on...

Jamieg285 · January 09, 2007, 12:22:13 PM

Sorry, couldn't find a 6

Occasionally one pops up on ebay when someone coverts a S-6 Chevy Pick-Up to a V8 . . .

They normally go for around £100, tops . . .

55starchief · January 09, 2007, 12:50:45 PM

nevermind a straight 6 go for an 8 or a 12

go for an 8 or a 12

A lot harder to come by, plus I think the proportions of a straight 6 would be more in fitting with a 6 seater table.... you don't want people sitting in the end seats to be knocking their legs on the block...

55starchief · January 09, 2007, 02:24:32 PM

most 50's americans had straight 8's and relativly small blocks

Still, Try finding one for sale over here . . . no where near as common as S-6's . . .

Re. that bare 305ci block :

Quoting: Seller

The block number is 460776. And the year I am not to certain but I think it could be early 80's

Anyone identify that block ?
