It Has Begun

Alright... I have a plan. Now, all I need is some money and an engine. I found this 351 Windsor short block on craigslist for $400. It came out of a 1994 Explorer with OEM hydraulic roller lifters and E.F.I. (I'm going with a carburetor.) I guess I could have saved a few bucks if I had found a bare block, but I'll probably recoup some of that $400 by selling the crank and cast iron heads on eBay.

I have a block! I can't believe I'm actually going through with this.

Jacob and I had this disassembled, bagged, tagged, and boxed in a couple of hours. It's currently at the machine shop to get a hot bath and magnaflux tested for cracks.
