There is a blown one in the classifieds. I may be getting a full car with 103K miles on it to restore. It was hit in the rear.If the project turns out to be too much for me or the damage is too great I am going to part the car out to get my money back. Let me know if you might have any interest. The compression numbers and leak down on the motor were good and the car can still be driven.- Cheers, Mike

There was a complete long block on Pelican for sale, not sure if it sold or not (Cory Jump). I think it also was on Ebay but got no bids with a 2,700 starting price (which is a steal!). I almost bid on it but have two many engines in the garage, the wife might start complaining. There's also this issue about new furniture

Seemed like a good deal, just couldn't justify it when I have been forking out money left and right to upgrade brakes, rotors, wheels, and body parts

What are you going to do with it?
