    You could consider this 900 HP V12 as a swap:http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...html?series=11

    he'll have to sit on the roof to drive it...but he'll only need a 12inch driveshaft.

    I've always been into the Gm LS engines, had a 2001 Z28 and now a GT0. If a LS7 would fit easily it would be in there but I'll have to settle on the big bad 3.5 for now. I just hope the ebay engine doesn't sell before I find out for sure whats going on with mine. Not sure if it's a stocked item but I don't get that impression and who knows how long it would be before they get the core rebuilt if they get one. The 200 year old tow guy I set up yesterday to deliver it to my mechanic never showed up so I have to pay 20 more for another guy tomorrow, but hopefully my mechanic can get in there and let me know the whole situation before they sell it.

    Thanks Guys,

    George

    P.S.

    Went out and set in it tonight, breaks my heart that I can't driver it.

    Have another question. Whats the best manual for the Vehicross? Haynes, Helms, or some other. Also, where can I get one?

    Thanks Guys,

    George

    What the ^%$*??? Engines Direct is raising the price and core charge on the engine on ebay. I think they have done it atleast twice. WTF? Unless they are willing to come down I'm going with my original choice. This is ridiculous.

    Thanks,

    George
