Going to look at an engine.

No.  Previous block repair failed.

Even with free parts and machine shop access it's a 40% success.

Wow, I bet my father had to explain these to the illiterate GIs he was sent to service the tanks he was in charge of maintaining/repairing/salvaging in the 3rd Army. What a resource, I was nearly put off by the old school format with no thumbnails until you hit the year. 

Guy in Canada is selling these engines; Military Surplus still in the crate.  $5,000.

Yeah some of us Modified Cadillac people put that together probably 22 years ago. We had members scan stuff they had then I used some free program that would create the nested site using folder names. Not pretty but very functional. 

Going to look at a 346 today.  Runs, guy pulled it from his 1941 Caddy to put in a 472 auto.  Pricey, but nearby and healthy.  Oh, it has Pertronix ignition, rebuilt gnerator & water pump too.
