Well...........it happened again!!!

I bought a 409 carb from a guy about 4 months ago. I asked him if he had any more 409 parts. He said no but he had a friend who had A LOT of parts. I gave him my card and asked his friend to call me if he wanted to sell. No word until we got home from our bike ride to Montana last week. I had 3 messages on the recorder that IF I wanted the parts....I had better call RIGHT NOW!!!!

So.......after Cecil left, I headed out in my dually and I borrowed my son-in-laws truck too. We brought two loads home and I have to go back for a third load!! This was part of a 37 year old collection!!

2 348 tripower blocks
6 1147 heads
62 068 QB block
63 814 block
64 422 QB block
2 817 heads
7 690 heads ...all 62 dated
3 583 heads
68 dated Muncie 4-speed
59 dated cast iron T-10 4-speed
probably 10 distributors
59-60 idler pulley
MINT set 62 drippers
8-10 sets other valve covers
set of .060" TRW 425HP pistons
set of .030" TRW 425HP pistons
set of .060" Jahns 348 Power Slot pistons
set of .060" TRW 348 11.25-1 335HP & 350HP pistons
Mallory mini-mag distributor
5-6 409 cranks
2 425HP balancers
and 15 ammunition boxes filled with NOS rockers, a set of NOS 327 flags and 409 scripts, used rods and all kinds of "stuff"
On the 3rd trip, have to pick up all the cranks and some 348 heads, exhaust manifolds and intakes. Also...Offy & Offenhauser valve covers, 4x2 intake with carbs, and a MICKEY THOMPSON CROSS-RAM!!!!!!
I was worn out last night from loading everything...................now I've got to unload everything!! I need more shelves!!!!!!

Cecil........I'll keep you in mind on a set of the 1147's. Let me know what date you need.

Oh........just in case you were wondering......I didn't go anywhere near our friends in the Great State of Texas!!!!
