Danny,

PM me the directions to get to your place. I should be able to make it over before I go to school.

Thanks,

Jason

I had forgotten about that; God, that was funny.

I think you have someone else to thank for that, but I'm not telling. And I don't think Cory is telling, either.

Pork? Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis?

Hey Dan I think I still have a bench mount VW type 1 engine stand. if it works on a Type 4 you're welcome to it.
I can't make it there this weekend but if anyone passes through Dayton they could pick it up.

the motor stand i have is on casters (for type 1 and 356/912 engines dont know if type 4 works but i think it does)... thinking of using it for a rotisorrie!? you sure it would be strong enough!? i mean yeah an engine is heavy.. but a car is heavier... even stripped..

as long as its not for too long, like a few mos (remember i need to at least replace my heads this year).. and as long as its not gonna get damaged, i dont think it would be a problem (its my dads.. but i use it.. need to ask permission, but immagaine it would be ok).
