Now that Don's rebuilt Cleveland is in the car and going through the break in phase, what to do with the old engine. The block is useless, cracked, which is what spawned the hunt for a new engine. Two of the pistons are oversized, so that set is useless. Nobody would buy a used crank or cam. So that leaves the heads. Figured I could get something for the pair, both D3ZE AA in good shape. Don said since they are D3's they could be worth something or nothing. In late '73 they changed the valve size, how many members know that?

The best thing about my table is that the lady had me make it after I showed her a pic of one. It´s been in our living room ever since.

By the way, all our visitors like it and it aways is a subject that will be talked about.
