and as for the questioning if the motor is a legit 350 "This kid has a warmed over 305 with a flat tappet Thumpr cam" i just wanted to restate that it was indeed a 350 punched to 355.
and keep in mind that its in Canadian funds which is around 7k U.S. also remember that the shipping on the parts would hae been more, our taxes here, etc... there is a stuff you guys down in the us may not know money wise when building up here in canada. I was just saying what the bill i was shown was.

Good morning Tie, let's try to have a meeting of the minds here if we can.

First off, I never called you a liar, that was not in my mind at all. What was in my mind was that you had been taken advantage of, like many of us were taken advantage of in our youth and I was trying to help you find out exactly what the motor was/is. You still don't know what it is. You're stubbornly clinging to what the buyer told you and I'm very sad about that. Perhaps you really don't care to know the truth and that's my fault for trying to push you to know what the motor really is, so please accept my apology.

I don't care what the motor is, it has no importance to me beyond trying to help you determine if you were "rooked" or not. I think you were, but if you won't cooperate with me to find out the truth, then there is nothing else I can do. Wishing you a nice life, son. Stick around and learn from the other fellows and gals on here if you wish, they're a very knowledgeable crowd and all of us enjoy teaching. There are several build threads going on here all the time, so there is plenty to see.

Oh, one more thing. This is your statement from another post....
" I cant get numbers because the motor barely fits in the engine bay of that car so there is no way to get the numbers to prove it was originally a 350."
Tie, please, do you think you're dealing with children here? The numbers are easy to get off a small block motor sitting in a .........aw hell, you've deleted what car the motor is in, but it seems like it wasn't an Isetta or Sprite or something like that where it actually would be a tight fit. I'm trying to remember that it was a Firebird or something, which has room for 2 small block Chevies. And again, I see now that you are not interested in finding the truth, so this is the last I will contribute to this thread. You are, of course, welcome to hang around and learn if you like.
