no problem...I should get the pistong rings today, along with the oil pump tomorrow.  I'll start to assemble everything this weekend...and then its just a matter of getting it done...  I dont see it taking too much longer...maybe 2-3 weeks with my schedule.

whats the condition of the car etc.?  I need pics too.  Oh, and I for got to mention...(this may change your mind)...I reassembled the stock engine with all new gaskets.....not the HO.  If I were to let the HO go, I would have wanted at least another 500 just to cover all my costs.  I had the head at the machine shop and he said they were good, so the HG's are new etc.  Currently, I'm looking for 600 for the car, and a quick sale....but its still pending....(but I'll listen to other offes)

Hmmm.. maybe if I get rid of my own '88, I'd be interested. Can't bring another car home without getting rid of one.

EDIT: My aunt also needs some functioning transportation.. so maybe if I can work it out around here to get that and let her use my current '86, and get rid of the '88, (it's leaking water into the interior from all this rain) I could go after that. You're also not terribly far away.. how well would that car hold up to an interstate drive?

EDIT #2: I see a lot of conflicting stuff in the earlier posts, apparently. So you're saying it has the SO back in it, with the stuff you replaced? (I have no way of transporting the other engine, so whatever's in it is all we're interested in.. HO or SO, as long as it runs.. we need another running car)

yes the car runs...since it is not insured, the driving has been limited to in my neighborhood.  I have driven it up to 30 minutes with no problems at all lately.  The interstate drive SHOULD be ok, but like I said, I have not had it far from home yet.

It does have the SO in it now.  But like I said, it is running fine IMO.

Let me know when you would like to take a look at it.  I would like to give it a bath before you get here :D

I will respond to your email as well.
