a neighbor's wife, a blonde, made a post yesterday up on the neighborhood forum....
then a husband posted this later in afternoon:
First shave of the year 
I’ve been told You can use the 327 crank in a 4 bolt main 350 . You would now have a 4 bolt 327 . But I would just use the 350but the '70 LT-1 350 was definitely a 4-bolt main, steel crank sbc! same rod and crank journals as the 307! i had one i scrounged up in a hot rod buy deal... was going to pass on it, til seller said i am moving out of state, so all this is for sale, too!
i bought the entire package!!! the LT-1 was still NIB in the crate!!!
if anyone has to ask what color was the paint splash on the parts... ha, they must be driving old Buicks!
What farm truck wouldn’t have a hitch ? I purchased from the original family truck was still on the farm in South Carolina . Truck was in relatively good condition but once I started on the bedwood (practically gone ) it snowballed on melooks nice! not often at 40K miles... a ground up restoration is needed! i prob could have gone just 'plug n play!
hmm, thinking that trailer hitch is an anomaly!
I’m doing away with the chains on the tailgate . No matter what you do they sway and damage the paint . I’m just going to use some nice SS pins and a set of rods to hold the gate when it’s down
I bought my dad one of these and he loves it. Light and punches above it's weight.
Paid more than double than you did though...
A train horn would have been more funi have had that issue before, and solved the prob with same solution. issue was the inspector could not find any reference to say it was not illegal! just had to be heard from a certain distance!

Just got a deal too good to pass up. I don't really "need" the 500i, as I've got the 462 which is similarly sized and does just fine, but I've just "wanted" one of these since before they were released in the U.S. This guy works at a tractor dealership that is also a Stihl dealer. He got me great prices on my 462 and 261. This is 300.00 cheaper than I've seen new anywhere else. And sometimes as much as 500.00 more at some places.
He only does it like this in cash, because I'm guessing it's less than Stihl dictates that it be sold. When I've bought saws like this from him before, they still come with warranty. I had the oiler go out on the 462, and they warrantied it for me. But, I think I'm going to have to jump on this one.

See what happens when you get old totally forgot I had rims with practically new tires off of my 72. Throw on some 16 inch wheel cover adapters and I have a new look 
Without the caps
Without the caps
A 2-bolt with splayed caps is better. For a 327 build you can get away with a lot as you're not going very high in hp, and even if you did, it's not typically something that would be hitting higher hp #'s very often unless you're running turbo/turbos or a supercharger.
If I was building a 500hp plus small block again, I'd buy a dart block, otherwise your just gonna pay later. I don't really see that ever happening again though.
And it won't ride like a John Deere, a kubota would have been acceptable though LOL.
Truck looks great.
Seems you're feeling much better
.I'm 100% better, just not back to 100%.
Renting a stump grinder this weekend to do the cherry stumps I "made" a while ago, then I'll grind all the stumps here at the house. Getting it tomorrow morning and I can keep it til Sunday evening for the price of one day. I figure this way if I get all tuckered out at the job I can just come home and rest, then do ours Sunday morning(church in the evening). Not sure which machine I'm going to rent yet, tracked 40hp diesel or the wheeled 50hp. I'm sure I could get it all done with the big machine, just as long as it doesn't get stuck out back
, but at least I have some equipment here to help get it out if that does happen. Probably go with the bigger machine as I have quite a few larger stumps.You are low on those prices. The 17 will be around 34k and the diesel should be around 26k+ Local Ram dealer offered me 30k+ for my 2016 2500 SLT 6.4L 2 door cab 4x4 with 55k on it.

Remember this tire,
Well, I took it to my tire guy and as soon as he started beating on the rim to break it down, (split rim) all kinds of rust let go,
SO, as a new aftermarket rim was $200 I looked for and found a modern "used" rim for $75, and as a friend gave me a couple decent used tires, back to my tire guy I go to have one of the tires put on the new "to me" rim,
and now "all is better". lol

Much better my stamina is back after the pneumonia. Still cough once and while . Stitches came out today .A 2-bolt with splayed caps is better.

I really have no need to build a 4 bolt 327 . I’m ordering a blueprint 350 . New block and heads all new parts . It’s a 4 bolt block with roller cam .

I HOPE you're right. I just put all of the info into Carvana's website, and was honest in the description of it, this is what they came up with for an appraisal. I may actually sell it to them if their "real life" offer ends up being anywhere within 5K of that.
Hm, posting that might make him a former Stihl dealer…

I don't think so. Can YOU tell what dealership that is? There's a reason that picture is framed the way that it is.
