Hey Spud, here are a couple of 304 block options for you... #1 is a high mile block from my "71 Ambassador. The ridge is not horrible. IMG_5705 by Rick Jones, on Flickr IMG_5706 by Rick Jones, on Flickr #2 is unknown but I was going to try to just re-ring this one and throw new bearings in it. I will pull it down to a bare block and take both in to the machine shop and have him check the bores. If one is OK, do want me to have him hone it? IMG_5707 by Rick Jones, on Flickr If neither of these work, I have two other complete 304's that I could tear down.

Naw, dont bother honing it. I’ll worry with that later. Lets see how they look and i would probably want the one with the lesser wear. Thank you so much rick. I’ll probably make a trip up to pick it up. I still have a bunch of heads if your interested.

Rick don't swing that way Spud!.. Oh, you wrote "heads" as in plural. I may have misunderstood. I mean, who wouldn't want a bunch of head. Just sayin. We will have to see what you have but I think I have more cylinder heads that I need right now. In fact, you can take a few sets of 304 heads home with you if you want them.

Oh that would be really cool. I could use some 304 heads. I’m sure you have a few other 304 items i might come home with. Hopefully we get some snow free weekend i can make the long trip up there.

Look at it this way, spud. It's like 10 hours closer from your place to Rick's than it is from your place to mine. Scratch that. More like 15 hours.

Ya gotta admit rick’s place is an amc attraction in its own rite so thats a plus. The road to ricks is packed with americana, but the road to rebs is pure scenic america, however crossing the rockies and navigating the cascades this time of year seems pretty challenging. Guess it’ll wait reb.

I sure don't think I would want to try getting over the Rockies this time of year. One could go the long way, through NM, AZ, then up through California. Northern Cali and southern Oregon are pretty rough this time of year also.

We are thinking aloud my freind. It’s gonna be hard enough motivating the spudtruck to Mi. I dunno if rick is a yooper or what

No I am a "Troll". I live south of the bridge near Toledo Michigan. I really think Reb should fly in to Detroit and I can pick him up. We should make a event out of it! We could call it Reb's Nationals or something. LOL!

As long as the mask mandates are in effect, I won't be flying anywhere. Putting up with TSA, even though I have pre-check, pushes my tolerance for bullshit right to the edge.
