Anyone got an old boat anchor laying around? Starting to work on an old project that the block broke on.... Looking for a standard bore block....

Thanks, Dan

I don't have any boat anchors, but I might have a few high quality Olds blocks .

I am sure if I wanted to drive to Vancouver, Dan would hook me up! After all, I am named after him... I am hoping to meet him and Dan jr for Pinks all out....

Thanks Chris for looking into it!!!




Noah, Keep me in mind when you pull it!!! It might not be a bad idea to have a spare just incase I break one spraying too much to it. A great family friend is helping me build a motor that I hope should run 12's.......

I wondered if you were mustangdan. I have seen Dan and sons car run . Its impressive . Are they going to try to get into pinks all out ?
On a side note , their engine is a testament to the strength of the bbo. It's got to be over 700 hp running 9.40's @ 140 and 3100 lbs.

Yea, Dan is amazing on Olds stuff!!!!! He has had his 65 442 since it was new. I talked to him a few days before Christmas and we talked about Pinks all out. He said it would be alot of fun and he would talk to little Dan about it. I told him I would come over and pit for him. We also talked about them comming to Spokane and running a few times. He has a place to stay and a shop to work in here at my house so they are definately thinking about comming up. It cracks me up about some of the guys over on Realoldspower talking about how bad their cars are and think Dan is full of shit. Little do they know that most of the miles on his 65 442 are quarter miles. He has never sprayed one, but I am going to try it and see how it goes. Hope to get my big ass Buick into the low 12's all motor then try to spray it......
