woooo. $3000 and you will still have money in hoses, antifreeze, oil, belts, etc. close to $4000 by the time you add in your labor. not really good to put money like that into an old daily driver, if you get into an accedent, the ins company is going to have unprotected sex with you. been there, done that.no more.

I'll sell you a whole truck for $2500, that will pass md inspect. and is good on gas
