My teacher said he was trying to get one, but he doesn't know how long it will take to get. Sending a PM your way.

A 370 will be a solid engine. You'll be really happy. You need a ride in mine, I'm pushing the 500hp mark in my 6.0.

Update.

Block all surfaced and I re-chased all of the threads on the block.

Just waiting on pistons. I was going to pick up Sloxcab's Mahle's but He ended up selling his whole 370 project. Should have a set ordered by Saturday. Fingers crossed.
