Is that all spoken for already? I'm coming up that way next week to get some other parts and help a friend in NJ with an engine swap....

Not at all. I've had it listed on CL. One guy wanted it all and never called me back. What are you looking for?

The wiring I my need but I can hook you up on engines. Cheap. I have no use for them and they're getting in my way. Your PM box is full. I live 20 mins off I-95......

I'm really beginning to have second thoughts on this build. It probably would have been cheaper and easier to buy a new truck.
Very hard to find the time to work on it anymore, don't even get me started on the cost.

We do have sympathy for you though!
I hope you can power through, maybe it is time to pay someone to do the engine install, tranny rebuild or other time consuming task just to get done, so you can enjoy.

I agree with Larry though, this is an investment you'll be proud of for a looooong time. Surely I'm not the only one who wished he could go down the assembly line with my truck and take all the time I wanted to tweak and polish things along the way?? Doing a build like this is as close as we can get to that fantasy.
Expensive? Well, that's all relative. Have you priced a new KR?
Please call me if you decide you don't wanna finish it, mmmmmkay??

LOL! I'm pretty sure I had that feeling on every one of these I've done!!! And mine were all sold before I was done and customers were anxious in addition to the inherent challenges of a project like this...

Haha, nice.
Glad to see you back on the project. Sometimes it's nice just to walk away for a bit to clear the ol noggin.
