There is a machine shop near my home that has a 312 (have not checked #'s) that has been in their shop since the 80's. Someone dropped it off and they freshened it and the customer never picked it up. All new parts are there to complete the short block but it has not been assembled. There are no heads but they said that have a set of 292 heads that were never picked up. I am wondering if I should buy just so I can have one more heavy, bulky item laying around my garage that I don't need or pass on it. They mentioned they might be in the $6-800 range for the short and the heads.



Any recommendations and what to look for as far as casting #'s?



Thanks
