    Picked up another engine block & heads

    E7TE-CA block, dated 1987. E5 heads.
    The block has flat tappet cam in it, but looks like it has the taller lifter bores for roller lifters. It has the two bosses in the lifter valley that can be tapped for 1/4” bolts to install a spyder. It has flat top pistons with four valve reliefs.  Hoping it has a clean crank in it.
    No real plan for it yet, but now I have one for when I get bored some day.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    When the price is right we can’t let that stuff slip by.
