I emphasize trying because I don't actually have that block and I'm not entirely sure I will anytime soon. Kind of like counting the chickens before they're hatched... I have given the billing (CC) info to them for my deposit about a week ago but they still haven't processed that payment. I've been told that it will be at least 4-6 weeks for the block to be available but I have no guarantees of anything.

The current block I have is the only Pontiac 400 block I have. As we know, they don't grow on trees. In other words, if I had another suitable block, it wouldn't matter to me at all, but I don't.

Now, if I could be a part of someone finding their original numbers matching motor and get it back in their car, I'd feel really great about that. That would be super cool and I'd love to make it happen. But, I still need a motor for my car...

I really hope nobody thinks I'm being unreasonable but I don't think it's fair at all to expect me to surrender my motor until I have another one.

Man keep it for a while at least if you just got it done just run that.

The ship has sailed on that one. Wheels are in motion. Many thousands of dollars of parts purchased, commitments made, etc.

For better or worse it's happening. We'll see but I think this motor is gonna be bada$$.
