What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I did rebuild a few engines in my younger days, mostly in line 6's and small block chevy's. I did get the chance once to do a 460. Never had the tools to check or fix the internals or the heads so I always sent them to a machine shop for that.
On the engine stand, me and another guy assembled the parts one day. Had the pistons and bottom end done with the oil pan on. Flipped it over to do the top half, got to a point where the heads were bolted and toqued, decided to quit for the day. When we got back to it the next day the oil pan was toutching the floor. The engine stand, I'd used for 15 or 16 rebuilds had bent. We jacked it up and welded some steel to help it hold the heavy thing.
After puting it all together with some changes to the original build, of course.
That thing would make the truck we put it in, a 3/4 ton 1984 Ford pickup, jump up into the air. It could tow anything we hooked to it.
Ford 460! Nice!

very cool.mine was in a mint 2 tone 77 ford f250 xlt ranger i basically restored.positrac diff c-6 modded transmission.was a camper special.factory engine redone with early 1970 dove heads,flat top pistons and some great cam ,intake manifold/carb/ignition and exhaust upgrades.it was a monster..and used 10 to the gallon loaded or not.miss that truck.

 

Yes! if you can A-Ford to drive it. This had dome pistons, took high test, or as high test as you could get at the time.
We did change the internals a bit, compaired to the original design.
Not sure we got 10mpg, more like 7.
But pull anything you could hook to!
Then take it home. Just don't break anything in the process!
Well.....

Spent way more than I wanted to but considering what these razors been selling for lately, they hardly come up for sale and the fact the it was last one I needed to officially have owned at least one razor from every letter in the Schick Alphabet I pounced on it like a drunken sailor on the first thing they came across with 2 teets and a hole in a bar. A sober sailor would check to make sure they had 2 holes first before pouncing.

Schick Type F

 

Very cool! Congrats!

Just won it.
The box looks a little worn, the razor cover has some scratches, but the razor looks like it will shave OK.
That's the important thing to me.



The price was lower than I expected.

A Chinese jewelry website listed 1 Simpson Chubby 2 Super Badger for $65. After confirming that PayPal's buyer protection would cover the order, I ordered it. I got a shipping confirmation with a tracking number showing something is on it's way. Waiting to see what I actually get hoping I'm happy but thinking a PayPal dispute is more likely.
