    HEYericglo!ACMAN BACK THANKS FOR QUICK RETURN, BUT BROKE MY HEART. THOUGHT I HAD FOUND THE MAN WITH ALL THE ANSWERS. OH WELL ON WARD & UPWARD BUT DO YOU REMEMBER ONE OF YOUR PIC'S SHOWED WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN ALUMINUM PLATE TYPE FRONT BLOCK MOTOR MOUNT IF SO CAR COULD POSSIBLY HAVE DIFFERENT FRONT SUBFRAME WITH #'S IT WAS RUNNING PROBABLY HAD TO HAVE A CAGE. THIS MIGHT BE THE CAR THAT SOMEONE POSTING UNDER "ALAN WITH" I CANT RELOCATE HIS POSTING,CAR HE DISCRIBED SOUNDED MUCH LIKE THIS ONE

    If you look back at page 2 or 3 it looks like the car belongs to MAVERICK93!!??? It does have a front motor plate, you can see it in picture! I'm going to get rid of all the stock front end and cross members to make room and use front and mid plates..

    I talked to you a few years back, I think you had it for sale and e-mailed me the picture's!!! Now I want to do one with a 300 six, but use a procharger instead of turbo!!!

    Seeing how I've never been to lebanon valley some one emailed me the picture's and said they wanted 11 grand for the car, I guess It's a good thing I did'nt send any money to them huh!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Oh ya thanks for straitening me out on the fact that a strait 6 only has ONE head GASKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
