DeTomaso Mailing List: May 99, Message #60

Hi Alan:
Thanks for the comeback on this one too. I'm looking forward to scouring
some junkyard for a good 351C block (4 bolt or 2 bolt, don't matter to me).
I'm willing to put the time and effort to getting something like this done
while doing a write up about it. As another hobby of mine, I usually take
pictures of what I'm doing, write down critical steps to this procedure,
scan in the pix and put the thing together in some report/booklet form. I've
done this in the past with radio restorations and believe me, with the
exception of the type of hobby involved, there is no difference. I'm busy
"brewing" other projects in mind. I'll post on another subject regarding
this. Thanks. Cal.
