276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Thank you once again Pete. The bottom photo shows a couple more parts I picked up from my friend that sold me his father in law's block collection. He had mentioned he had some more bellhousings and oil pans for me in an old airstream on his property. All those good blocks and so many parts 1 1/2 miles down the road, and up until seven or eight years ago I knew nothing of them.

It amazes me how many good flathead parts (and trucks!) you have on your island.

I have had a lot of flathead era ford trucks but the vast majority got here the hard way. My first flat V8 came from the island. Once the hook was set, I had haul them from the mainland. Oregon, Eastern Washington, Parker's Praire Minnesota, Montana, N Dakota etc. Here's my first, that '38 tonner before and after. Most of the blocks came all at once, but I collected plenty of them the hard way too.

That Airstream might be worth more than the flathead stuff that's in it to the summer people on the island
