The complete 440 was planned to put in the '72 GTX. The GTX has the original 340 grabber hood and is a rolling chassis. The 327 I found in a barn, it came out of a '67 El Camino and I want to put it into a '76 El Camino that I picked up. We also have some 383's for spares. I planned on pulling the engine out of my '69 GTO this fall for a rebuild. The timing chain is shot so I thought I'd just do it all...gaskets, high velocity oil pump, timing chain and what-not. I'm the second woman to own that one. I also have another '69 GTO which was running a Judge engine and rear-end. I need to check the numbers on that one to see if it is a real Judge. The fella who had it blew up the motor when he was drunk. His wife took a baseball bat to the windshield and told to him sell it or he was next. He sold it to me and when she found out what he sold it for, she took a skillet to him instead. You can't please some women. I got so many projects that I can retire with the assurance that I'll NEVER be bored. I've sold a few too and never regretted it since I made really good money off of them. So much for my family telling me what a fool I am to keep a private junk yard. Let me know what you have planned and how things go as well Joe.

What cars (if any) are they planned for? I started collecting cars and parts at age 14 (had 3 cars before I had a licence). I put my first 440 in a car at age 15. Never got married till a few years ago,a nd pretty much spent most of my life and income buying cars and parts, and increasing the quality, and quantity of my collection (cars and parts). I traveled the country since I was 18 (now 46) buying cars and parts. I would just keep selling off the "lesser cars and parts, when I could replace them w/ better stuff, but mostly I just kept buying....The fire has wiped us out, and allthough I have a lot of "toys" left, they don't pay the bills, or put food on the table. Check out the other post (above info for link) to see what cars and bikes I am selling right now. Joe > It's always nice to hear from another collector. Those are great cars. I >started > collecting at 28 and have about 42 vehicles and 13 or more bikes. I'm like > you...lots of parts..327's, 440's, 383's, whole parts cars and so on. I'm lucky > to have a 5,000 s.f. shop to store them in or I'd be paying BIG storage bills > too.
