Sorry about your luck. That is a sweet ride. I'd go along with Stockraiders plan. If you think about it, it should work. If the mechanic checks the head over real good and it needs to be straightened, then gets it straight, there is no reason a new head gasket won't allow you to get it home. You will have to go thru it, what with all the high temperatures doing wonders to rings and valves and such, but logically it should work. good Luck! Hey, waitaminut!!!! Isn't Temple by you in VA somewhere? He has a 3.0 that works fine. I bet shipping his to TX would be cheaper than a rebuild or anything. Well, except for a head gasket. It's a thought. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />
