    Frank and I just got back from Scrapper60's place in N.W Alabama, and returned with a new (to me anywho) engine for my car. It is a 5.0 roller from a Lincoln, '86. Jerry has ran the engine, and says it runs solid and is a good basic engine for what I need to do. Thanks to Frank the transportation and time, and for Scrapper for the engine. Here are a few pics.
