Tom,

I have the pieces of the motor you need, timing cover,
oil pick-up front plate etc.  I assume you have a head
and valve cover?  I can bring them to LA this weekend
if you can meet me at Compton Airport late tomorrow
morning or tomorrow afternoon.

I can bring the 258 manifolds too.

I'm replying on the list since I don't think you check
you other email very often.

You can reply by email and tell me exactly what you
need.
