Jim, thanks for the information. This engine has been available for a
while I just haven't gotten around to getting it. I guess you can never
have enough cubes and certainly if I have the parts someone somewhere may
want them, maybe me.
I think I will contact Dan and/or Glen about the possibility of a swap.
I need other items more than I need the parts off of the 300.
I can't help you with the 8" Ford but good luck
