Appreciate the offer but being that you are in Oregon and I am in Texas the shipping costs will kill the deal even if the engine were free. I am looking for an entire engine or at least a good block. I want it for a truck that interstingly enough was found for my by a fellow FTE member in Oregon. Gas prices were under $2.00 a gallon at the time and I fell into a deal to get it here. I'm afraid that shipping an engine may cost me more than I would pay for the engine. Now if you are planning a trip to Houston (or Dallas for that matter) and could carry it along with you it might work out.
I have a couple of fires in the oven right now. Hoepfully one turns out for me. I'm venting frustration at the difficulty I am having locating an engine than anything else.
