Anyone got an cherry picker I can use for a day to drop this thing in there with?

is the head from the side that threw the rod still good? usually the piston slaps the valves and trashes them.

im thinking its bad, but the engine im buying has a good head on it. so ive got two good ones. if need be, i can buy one for a little over 100 on ebay, no biggy

seems like a waste of time and money. I picked up a running 97 3/4 Chebby of ebay for 2700, bet you'll dump that much into this project.

damn guys.

Let him run with what he's got. it probably would have been nice to give him some input BEFORE he bought the engine?

well, as you know, wingfield suffers from Autism's kissing cousin known as Chadnutsism. No matter what anybody says, he's doing what he wants and thinks is right. Let's just stay out of it and watch the show.

thanks fredo:) I need a quick fix for a truck for my guys to use while I'm at school. Its only 1500- no biggy. If need be, I can definately sell this for more than I put into it.

Jumping into a second project before the first one is complete is by far the best way to never finish both. I nominate Wingnut for the "Most likely to never see the trail" Award for 05-?
