I very rarely use checks... however, I broke out my ATM card last week and picked up a absolutely-flawless Holley 4780 (800 double-pump) for $75.

Then I broke it out today and bought a complete '66 Satellite 8¾"--according to the guy it's never run since being set up with 4.10 gears and Sure Grip--for $100. I know it sounds expensive, but it comes with a spare housing and shafts.

I pick up the axles tomorrow afternoon, and the guy I bought it from says "I have a lot of other stuff I'm gonna just throw out, so I'll load that up too, and if you want any of this small-block stuff I'll bring that too, and you can just take it."

God I love being back in the parts racket.

I also picked up a complete '94 Dakota 2.5L/5-speed combo, electronics and all for the Conquest for $200, but I didn't think that would rattle anyone's cage too much. The plan is to get the mechanical part of the swap dialed in (using a T5 from a turbo T-bird at first) and my co-worker and I can commute in it for a while to work out the bugs...

...before I acquire the parts to run 23PSI of boost through it.
