[QUOTE="oilwell1415, post: 10184365, member: 58424"] I live around Tulsa, OK and the parts are in my shop about an hour west of me. It would be a pretty good all day drive to get here, but it might save you some searching. I could run over there with you Thanksgiving weekend. What I've got is basically a pile of miscellaneous 429/460 parts. I was planning to drop a twin turbo 605 in my Cougar, but decided to use a lighter motor. I bought up several complete engines so I could choose the block with the thickest walls to start with. A couple of them were junk, but I've still got a few others. A guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse for all the heads a few years ago, so those are all gone, but I've still got blocks, cranks, oilpans, bolts, brackets, and all the little stuff that usually ruins your day when you realize you don't have it during a build. All but one came with a C6 behind it, so I've got 4(?) C6 cores sitting there waiting to be built and put in a home. I don't know what shape any of them are in, but between them I'm sure you could get enough parts to build one or two good ones. Same with motors, I never got far enough along before deciding on a 4.6 to have any of them checked. Of the ones I bought, one 429 and one 460 ran when I pulled them, but were worn out. I know I have the block for the 429 on a stand and I believe the running 460 block is still there. Basically, if you bring a full size truck we could probably fill it with more parts than you want to haul home. I may be able to go over ahead of time and verify what's there if you want me to, just depends on my schedule. I think I've still got some small block and flathead stuff as well. If you're interested in that sort of thing we could work something on it too. The C6 does suck up some power, but I don't think it's as bad as the reputation it has.
