I live close to Richmond, but I'm there everyday so I might as well live there

$350? That's what I paid for my engine too!

Be ready to throw on a new clutch when you do the engine swap, and be ready to send the flywheel out to be resurfaced.

It's all that nickel and dime crap that I hate

AWESOME indeed!!!...it is very refreshing to see the newly generated activity...THANKS guys...remember this is YOUR chapter to make what YOU want with it...getting to know our fellow Hoosiers is what it is all about...plus making friends around the country too...

I've made friends in many states thru FTE...in fact when I was looking for that rifle sling...the Oregon Chapter Leader was the one that turned me onto the leather shop out there...so you never know who you will meet!

Being a extreme extrovert myself...I have yet to meet a stranger!
