Not to make too fine a point, but what what part of that price is taxes? And how many 'middlemen' between you and the oilfield? The price will float up to the highest level the market supports, and

Actually, a frame is easy to keep. It can be stood against the wall, either vertically or horizontally, slid underneath another car or object, or even hung from the rafters. Bare frames are easy to w

Sorry John, I meant to say 'body tags', not chassis. But my point in saving them is NOT to re-apply, but provide original proof of the ownership and lineage of the frame. When you do re-use the saved

I'd use the cam bearings too, *But*, If you do score the iron journals, the block is not trashed, you can always have the bearings installed. I always ran the cam bearings in my 1147 race motors, ne

We all have the same basic problem here. I believe that all the Spitfires use the same oil pan gasket. What about a group deal to get a good quality thick reusable die-cut neoprene gasket for this a
