Well, one of the blocks came from Fred, the '59 Morris I bought for $1 from
Howard Wolf.
We used Fred's crank in the Lotus' engine prior to this one. (Fred's crank
was in the car when the engine blew the week prior to the '99 Nationals.)
It still has the pistons and con rods inside, but the crank and pan are
missing. The head's off, too.
I sold Fred's remains to Gary Gooch for $2 for the Morris pickup he was
restoring. Gooch needed front fenders. See, I doubled my money! <G>
