Got a invite to a show at the Warrenton MO fairgrounds Sept 9th. Old friend I caughg up with while hauling rock invited to bring the 900. He said looks good enough to at least show off my old rusty skills.

I though he was just looking for a chew of tobacco.
That's why it never caught on. First trip loaded out the gate must have gone straight across the street. I also wonder what happened going through a dip or over a hump.

It just looks that way in the photo, crummy photo. It was a truck trailer on a sliding tongue.
Nothing really new except it won first place for dumb.

What's the thought you guys? I have a core BCI 400 for the rest of donor parts. Should I rebuild
or sell the the bare block? A ponderance.

No-just build to sell. Just like the last one I built and sold below only this one would be long block form.

I am having similar thoughts on that C15 block I am sitting on. Buy a core for internals and build it, possibly find a dead derelict to build it for.

May as well, I removed the top end today on the BCI core, the deck on it's good also. I can build
a BCIII 400 level long block with oil pump, accessory drive, injectors and jakes installed for a
reasonable price including 3 brand new heads and 6 reman rods with a new camshaft. So a tight
engine with all good housing bores, counter bores, straight deck for good sealing. And still put
some money in my pocket. There is a market for these old mechanicals.
