man, it looks like all you need is a short block to be able to drive it. I have gotten to the point where I realize I will NEVER be totally happy with my car. My wife asked me when I got it last year when I'd be done fixing it and I told her "never". But I also want to drive the M EFFER and I'm sadly not made of money so I trying to get it 100% reliable first. Then I'll move on to other upgrades, etc. I know it will be slow (car and the progress) but I have a lot more time than money and that car is my time machine back to teen age dreams!
I have a bike that is fast enough to send me to jail for double the speed limit of any highway in 2nd gear, so slow doesn't bother me at this point. I figure I can get the rest of what it NEEDS in the next 30 days, and have it registered/inspected and drivable before 04/15. That's my goal anyways. I do understand the whole motivation thing... it seems like every time I turn around this thing has some other nit-picky bulsh going wrong that I for some reason feel I MUST fix before I can call it a day. My 17 year old self would be pissed with present day me.
Get your ass on Craigslist.com and find a shortblock to throw in there and drive it while you save up to make it what you really want it to be.
But if you've lost your passion for it all together, just sell the damn thing and cut your losses. But... if you drop a $300 short block in there and get it running, it will be worth around $2k more.Originally posted by stevoNot a good idea to go Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor on the power phallus.

Basically what I would need to drive it again is my block back from the machine shop, gaskets, bearings, crank turned, and maybe new rods. Then find a hood and order some carpet I guess.
