I'm joining this forum as I finally got my hands on a decent 340 hp, 409 (65 JB passenger) engine. And trust me, I have been searching for many years to find a complete engine. Of all places to find this engine, I find it way up here in the frozen north. This is like a "barn find" in that the engine has been in storage for 17 years in a steel connex building in someone's back yard. The guy is moving back to the lower-48 and needed to shed weight as shipping things into and from Alaska is expensive. I plan to continue following this forum and asking advice on parts and guidance on how to proceed; I'd like to beef this critter up a little bit, but stick with the original crank and heads.
