Thanks for the heads up heathdogg. I won't be able to drive up that way for a while. All I have for transportation at the moment is my work truck, which got a GPS unit installed last week <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />, so I'm limited to in town at the moment.

Hit 5 more yards this week, and have come up empty handed. And no yards are interested in selling just a short block. They want to sell the whole thing.

I found a machine shop in Utah online and called them this week. Looks like I'll be shipping it out to them as they will do the machine work and the re-assembly, and ship it back to me. Not sure of the shipping costs yet but they will do all of the work for less than I was quoted in town for just the machine work. They were very helpful on the phone and sound like they know what they are doing, so I'm going to take a chance on them. Hopefully it won't come back to bite me in the arse. Going to tear the rest of the short block down this week to get ready to ship out to them.

While the block is out for the rebuild, I'm going to order up a gasket kit, head bolts, updated intake, and anything else I can come up with, and also get the heads done locally while the block is out for rebuild.
