ACY,
Thanks for the info, and yes I've read about your conversion
and checked out your blog, all of witch is great reading.Yes if in fact you can hook me up with the outfit that you got your engine/trans. I would be very grateful. Having an extra transmission would be good as well, you can never tell when it might be needed. Yes I have done several searches, including nation wide yards, really no luck, one outfit out New JERSEY, BUT THEY wanted the $1000.00 for the engine, which included shipping to my shop,sounded great, right?? WELL, get this, I started asking questions about the motor, like mileage turbo included, and THEN, she says, well you pay us first, THEN WE LOOK for your request. I asked, 'do you know where the motor's at'? OH NO, after you pay us THEN we'll look, well to make a long story short, I ended the conversation like a gentleman,,,
SO yes please, if you can get me some contact info, that would be the best news I've heard yet.
However, I did find a 2.2 turbo in Texas, BUT, it has a 170k miles, out of a wreck [ roll-over] but they said it ran when they got it 2 years ago, and to many electrical parts were taken from the truck to try to start it. Plus they won't deal with a shipping company, so I hate to drive 1200 miles to pick up not really knowing what to except when I got home, THIS has been my only hope BUT your connection has got me going again, so please, when you get a chance let me know... e-mail if you prefer: jiw395@sbcglobal.net, thanks, Norman/jiw395
