Hi guys,

First thing--I am JUST the messenger!   I know no more than what I'm 
writing here.   For any more info or questions, contact the seller, not me!

I was contacted by a guy named Joe Mendes who lives in Monterey, CA.   He 
has an incredible all-aluminum 351C, which uses a super-rare, 1968 date-coded 
experimental Ford ALUMINUM 351C block.   I don't know how many aluminum 
Cleveland blocks Ford built, but the number is quite small.

He bought this block directly from Dan Gurney back in the day; Dan was 
doing development work for Ford during the Trans-Am program days.

He had the block polished to a mirror shine, and then built a killer 
dry-sump street engine around it.   Specs and a photo of the engine installed in a 
Cobra kit car, here:

More photos of the engine on a stand here:

Ill health has forced its sale.   He has over $30K (!!!!) invested, and is 
seeking $20K or best offer.   Drop him a line at jmecj428 at gmail.com or phone 
(831) 818-7940.

Cheers!

Mike
