A little background info.....

The 440 in my 69 Charger hand grenaded about a month ago. What started out as a blown head gasket turned into a wiped out camshaft that tore the rest of the engine to pieces. The block is not even useable.
In the interim, I have been trying to find a bone stock 440 to throw in the car until I can build what I really want for it, a nice roller 440. I found one tonight and I'm picking it up on Friday night or Saturday morning. The summer with the car isn't totally lost yet!!
Stay tuned for more.....

I did find a running engine locally. I'm gonna go pick it up Friday night. I'm going to clean it up, reseal it, paint it, install it, and hope for the best.
