look what i scored in TEXAS!

me and my dad went to Decator, tx for the swap meet if u ever have the chance to go then go! its the best swap meet i have ever been to. This is what i came back with! a complete demon tripower intake system! for $500 bucks

 

Nice score.

One more guy on my I HATE YOU LIST.

 

Well, THAT was a steal. At full bang, $500 would get you about 1.5 carbs and no manifold, no linkage, right?
Jolly good. Me, if I find a swap meet that tasty, nobody hears about it except a small cabal of those nearest and dearest to me. And they know all about swap meet omerta.

But thanks for the tip

 

Nice. Looks like you got hosed on the engine though...

 

haha yea from jegs this set up is $2,800

 

You lucky dog!

 

You obviously haven't fully internalized the plastic is just as good mantra.

 

This is how the Red River Rumble started... I'll give you count of three to bring it back....

two....

 

Damnit!!!! I saw that and figured it was out of my price range! If had of asked it would be mine right now!!!!
Good score

 

HEY!-I lost one that looked just like that!!

 

way cool

 

Damn it took you a long time to get home!
Decatur was like a month ago.

Nice Score!

 

I would call that a bargain.

 

If you were in the market for plastic engines, another guy had a plastic flathead Ford V8 blocks with a set of plastic ARDUN heads and covers to go on it for $450 or so.
I think he took it home.

 

COOOL........
I decided to start a " I Hate You " list also.....You're the first name on it !! Ha Ha !!

 

Yeh, and if grandma had balls she'd be grandpa.

Nice buy customtudor

 

This "recession" is having an effect on all of us. I went to buy a "TH 350 transmission with a "rebuild kit" off of CraigsList.org; the rebuild kit was a TCI. The price was $75.00, and I did'nt even try to offer him less, even though I know he would have taken it. But, he also had a variety of other new-in-the-box items I wound up buying. When I got home I looked up and totaled the prices from my Summit Racing catalog. I spent a total of $135.00, and the Summit prices came out to $898.50 ,minuse the trans I went to get originally, and it does'nt need a rebuild, it looks like it was already just rebuilt. Going back for 2 pairs of heads tomorrow, for $35.00, and they're factory hi-perf heads, one set came on something called a SBC 302. But, my best deal ever was my Craftsman 230V arc welder, $75.00, and it came with a 50 ft extension cord to carry 230 V, new helmet, gloves,pick hammer, brush, and more rods than I'll probably ever use. And, this was 30+ years ago. It's going to get a lot worse for some, and a lot better for others, in this "hobby/illness/obscession" we all seem to have. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Good job! Congrats on the score.

 

So tell me,customtudor, how many pounds of dust and sand did you pour out of those parts after that "dustbowl" weekend in Decatur??

 

haha it was windy but it was in the box it came in

 

are you kidding me? awesome score

 

That's a really nice score. Swap meets are the best places to get parts.

 

Congrats! Good find.

 

Lucky dog. I hate you too.

 

You know you need to bring that back. Us Texans don't believe in exporting.
