I do have a pal that owns a shop that does complete restoration on classic cars. He has yet to look at it he has been on vacation, but I will trust his facts. I talked him into letting me us a bay of his and possibly buy dinner, beer, and computer service in trade for him and his guys for free work, I just have to provide the money for the parts . Sadly its hard to find honest mechanics here in Vegas. I have actually had it looked it for a ridiculous fees, the guys said the block has been cracked and was asking for close to $10k

The constant religious factor of me putting oil and checking it every week is kinda getting tiring, so I'm gonna just replace and upgrade. I have actually shown him allot of the VX's on here and I have a pretty good idea of the needed funds. We are going to be doing more then replacing the engine, we are doing allot of fun things.

I have been following the AutoPros thread its cool, I just think a V8 is more then I need and more work then we intend. As soon as we get all the stuff bought and in one location I will make a thread to follow the re-build. For now I have to get to work and start fixing a sh*t ton of computers and tech work.

Thank you to those with feedback
