Hey that money better spent on your HotRod then beer... Happy wrenching.

That's something I need to add in mine... a Heater! lol..

Funny about the battery too! An OOPS moment?

Just thinking out loud but I'll have a spare 302 on the floor this winter.. Just sayin'...

most guys have spare tires....You need a spare engine???Must be a Ford thing

Just can't have enough motors around.... can you??

That Vintage Air heater WORKS !!!! Especially the dash vents. Not inexpensive and it takes about as much under dash room as the a/c but without the engine compartment claptrap

Battery? Chalked up to a 'senior moment' is what I think you were really trying to say

And that spare 302/5.0 - ya just never know. I still have your cell number, but if CRS hasn't set in as well, might even lay my hands on it without tearing the house apart. I thought it was programmed into my cell, but noooo

To think - about 5 years ago I couldn't give a running 302 away so it went in the transfer station steel scrap dumpster along with a complete 8" rear end. Two 351s were finally sold for $25 each after posting on craigslist 4-5 times.

I was being kind with the "OOPS moment" comment.. No worries on the motor, it ain't going anywhere and you can always reach me through this forum. This is the wrong time for car / part sales anyhow. I've still got the new .030" over piston setups for sale at the machine shop and no-one is doing anything right now! But, I've got time!

I know what you mean. I dropped a 318 with mild build and performance transmission into the scrap pile after several months of trying to sell it at a (very) reasonable price.oh, and complete brakes set up too, it all came off the 79 diplomat the late wife crashed.
