I hate eBay.

I shouldn't really say I hate eBay. I hate competitive bidding on eBay. I had the high bid on a set of roller lifters for a 351c. Now normally these are about 450 bucks, but I found a set on eBay for just over a hundred bucks. I was set to win with just a few minutes left when I had to chase a kidling. I came back to find I lost by a mere 10 cents. Irritating... I am frequently looking for stuff for sale for my Cougar. I have had some luck, but not a lot. I guess I need to learn to play the game better.

Engine choices.

I am thinking about which engine will make Monte roar. Right now it has a pretty anemic 2v 351c. I am thinking a 4v 351c would be cool. I was also thinking about a blow through centrifugal supercharger. It might be expensive and a pain to tune, but would be a blast to drive. I could also do a 390 as I have a line on a free one which would need a reuild, but a solid cam tunnel port 390 would be awesome. Any thoughts?
