Yeah, just kinda got tired of it I guess. The car was done half ass so I wanted to build another car the right way. Really though I just needed another daily driver, I have always wanted an LS1 car so I figured it was now or never, plus I made ALOT of money off the car. Something broke on it today when I was messing around with my friend so hopefully it won't be a big fix and put the Mustang on hold...

So 351's are a pain in the ass to find. I found a ton of untouched 302's out of 89 or so Crown vics and such. Would it be a hard task to make it work with what I have? It's only $150.

Anyone know how to get a title the easiest? I found a 70 fastback for like $1250 in nice shape plus I am going to put his other car together for him, so basically a labor trade. BUT it doesn't have a title, how should I check the VIN? Run it by the police station?

Police station, insurance agent (maybe), department of lic, ??

I'd take the VIN - and the seller - to the Department of Motor Vehicles - have them run a title check - and if it comes back "clean" no liens - you can apply for a lost title (if it's in the name of the current "seller") -- or at least you can find out who is on the title and try to find them...

The owner before him lost the title, I guess I could go through him.

Well -- You get into the "possession is 9/10ths of the law" -- the current "guy" has possession - depends on how long - and if he can PROVE he's had it that long - does he have some paperwork - like a bill of sale from the title holder...
is the current title holder "around" so he could give you an affidavit stating that the title is lost and that he's willing to transfer title to you etc.

It's messy - but can be done - you'll just have to make a couple trips to your DMV to see what you need.
