Post Anybody Have Garage Space in Pittsburgh

I know that there are not many of you out there, but does somebody in Pittsburgh (or nearby) have any garage space for a lovely 5.0L 32V Porsche 928 engine? I am just out of space, but need the block to replace the cracked one in my '86. I would need to store it until spring. I will negotiate a deal for your kindness.

Please let me know

Just put a piece of glass on top of it, surround it with patio chairs and leave it in the back yard.

Viola! Problem solved, and you're the envy of your male neighbors.

Shawn, I take it your looking for someone to just store an engine for awhile for you??

I know there has to be a few guys or gals around that area that could help you out. You just need an area of what, 3' by 3' for the engine? I know the owners around Detroit are pretty helpful with each other.

Someone will come thru for you in PA, Shawn.

Right.

You forgot to mention that I will be moved out of the house and under that "coffee table" if I even try to put it in the house.

Believe me, I thought about it!

Shawn,

If all else fails, I'll store it indoors for free in Cumberland, Md. (2+ hrs. from Pitt.)

So, you found a home for Lady Luck. So whens a good time to get her down there? When we move the engine, is the wife coming for the ride, or is this going to be James Bond moment (secret movers!) <img src="graemlins/icon107.gif" border="0" alt="[icon107]" /> LOL

Just Kidding...

Give me a call sometime, maybe stop by. I have made some great improvements, but I think I can make two more.
