Lets trade blocks. I'll give you my DE block that was in excellent condition (other than the head gasket), and you can give me the DET block. I'll rebuild it in time.

Haha, I'd do it but you live pretty far away, and you know the ring was melted to the side of the cylinder wall, right?

Yeah, sorry I was talking to Jen. I'm moving to MD so we're going to swap bottom ends.

^^ I have 4 clean stock DET pistons if you guys want it but knowing how Cliff is, I bet he's getting it built.

i'm going to need another engine built soon, want to send the block in at the same time and get a better deal?

I'll post pics of my DE engine that I'm turning into a table when it gets back from the machine shop.

Sounds like a plan. Not sure how much over I'm going yet, though. Still TBD. Give the DET pistons to Jen, so he can use them in the block I've got. I'm going to need something larger.

I has one! Get it hottanked first, or the wife complains about the smell.
