Kevin,

I've thought of giving it a try. The motor was out of the car, so I wouldn't have to swap it (although I've heard some rumblings from the insurance company that they expect an assembled car). All that I have laying around in the garage is a $14,000 Lingenfelter motor that I'm damn sure not going to give up. I thought about hitting a junk yard and picking up a pull out V8, but I hate to go through all of that only to have the salvage company call me out on it.

Lee,

I forgot that you work in the insurance industry. Could you PM me your # or e-mail it to me at vettevet_AT_charter.net? Or you could just call me at 985-789-5118 at your convenience.

Thanks, you guys on this forum are great!!!
