I am responding to your questions about potential motors in wrecking yards. There are a few at Pull-Apart in Everett. ONE i believe is actually a 428 motor. I was up there the other day gettting a FE low mount alternator bracket. The truck i got my parts from was a 390. The truck that had the 428 had an engine fire. The top of the engine is all soot coated, with fire extinguisher residue all over it. The fire does not look like it got too hot, fore the thin steel of the hood was not rippled, anything plastic, rubber was melted, but aluminum things were not. I think the heads and short block would be fine. I believe this motor to be a 428, it has no harmonic balancer, with all the pulleys installed. Ya may be able to get it real cheap.
