With out a paddle
Well as some of you may recall The motor in my F350 fell victom to cavitation and I haven't been able to find an affordable replacement. They have been letting me store it a work but now they say I have to get it out by the end of the month. I have no clue what I'm gonna do I can't aford to fix it and can't aford to store it. They only engine I've been able to find is a 99 powerstroke wich is in callifornia i can have for free but i don 't have the time or money to go get it and make it work.
Dose any one have any suggestions?

I have to call and check but from what I've seen they are gonna want a fortune for it. i went and looked at one in a truck that a guy was gunna juck turned out to be junk but he wanted $700 for it because thats what the junk yard would pay him for it, so it would probly be like a grand for it from the junk yard And I'm broke because the same employers that wont let me keep my truck there any more also eliminated overtime stoped giving raises they are contractualy obligated to and cut beniffits. It realy pissed me off that after taking so much from me they couldn't do something for me that cost them nothing.

I work in L.A. and live near Fontana. If you desperately need transport of a motor I might be able to help. I have a 93 na 350. It's been running pretty well, at least lately. I know what you mean about costs though. Most guys down here want 900-1000 for a zf5.(next project) and I just missed out on a used Sidewinder Kit on CL. Joys on construction, money and no time, or all the time in the world and not a dime!
