Hi, a friend of mine recently had a major engine failure due to a dropped valve. Amazingly he was able to round up a couple of pistons and all the parts he needed pretty quickly. Now he is trying to put his 340 together this weekend to get ready for drag week. He just discovered that they sent him 360 bearings instead of 340 bearings. He's willing to drive quite a ways if necessary to pick up some bearings and get his motor put together this weekend. He needs .010 under main bearings.
Does anybody have a set or know of anybody who might have a set who is within about an 8-hour drive of Wisconsin?

Too bad, competition products in Wisconsin is closed today. The one in North Carolina answered the phone when he called. So he is still searching.

He is in Eau Claire. I'm not sure he can drive 13 hours each way, but I'll let him know. Thanks

Thanks very much for that offer, but he responded that he needs to keep it down to an 8-hour round trip.

I have an opened new set. They were put in an engine to zero the bellhousing. I can have them out and ready to pick up late tonight or early tomorrow morning if you would like. Im in Milwaukee. Im just leaving for an event now, or I would have them ready for you in an hour.
