thanx, that's really helpful, most people i asked about junkyards kept pointing me towards late model salvage yards.

the jackass i was gonna get the 427 from, hadn't had an offer on the thing for about 1 year and a half. he was askin 1g but said he wasn't firm, i made him an offer but now all of a suden he wants to seel some other crap with it and wants at least 1200. so i left that alone. i'll check back in a while if i don't find anything else. and i don't think he really knew what he was talking about. i'm not even sure it was a 427, it was probly a 421 with the tri power out of a gto(or something like that, whatever they came with the tri powers.)

what's a good donor vehicle to looke for, i'd like a standard deck 4 bolt main 454 or 427?
