How were their labor rates at either shop?  Anyone you prefer over the other?


Its going into my Focus.  This is actually the original engine, since it was a rebuilt engine I broke... whoops.

Do you guys have any recommendations on engine builders?  I have a short block (Ford Duratec I-4) that needs some work; just the basics: cleaning, 20 over on bore, honing, and bottom end assembly.  I'm not sure where my last engine builder moved to, and they were more of a domestic V8 kind of shop, and very pricey.

Who do you recommend?

Sold!

I might go out and take a look at a KG for my father this weekend, and I was wondering if there are some problem areas I need to focus on looking at. This car is definitely for restoration, so we expect some work. Was there anywhere in particular that was prone to rust?

Thanks

99.5% sure it was my inner CV.  The band holding the boot was gone, the boot was torn, and grease was everywhere.

Nevermind, found.  Thanks

I have some friends that are looking for some wheels for the 24 Hours of LeMons car.





I'm not too familiar with these, but if anyone has any they are looking to sell, let me know.  Thanks!

:cry:

Yea, we figured it out.  I wish I know why that site is so slow!

Looking forward to it.  Hopefully I'll remember how to do this cone thing...

Can someone give me a quick rundown on everything that changed since I was last out there?  This looks like a new venue.  Has the registration system of Pasha's changed much?  It looks like we both may be able to make it to one of these finally. :omg:

I wish my car was ready when you guys held the G2G...

Steph's hooked.  Luckily she got that day off, so we'll be there.  

We signed up a couple of days ago.  I hope we didn't miss any emails with the GIs.  Thanks

Steph and I had a great time.  Thanks to you and the workers for a great event.

Its got a little work to go, but get ready to see the red rollarskate again in 2007.

:evil:

See if there is anything different in here: http://www.mustangandfords.com/howto/29480/

I just finished moving to my new house, and now that I have a garage, doing the engine swap myself is an option.  The only problem is I don't have an engine hoist.  I was wondering if anyone had a hoist I could borrow for 1-2 months.

Thanks!

They are in Keyser, WV, near Cumberland.

A U-Haul and trailer is going to run me near $250.  Not sure if thats the cheapest out there...

I have some friends that run a nice operation out in WV that can help me with my engine swap.  However, thats about 3 hours away.  If all goes well, I should have everything by the end of this month to get it running again.  But I'm still not sure how to get it there.

My Buick only has a class 1 tow hitch, so that right out.  Can I rent an explorer and a tow dolly any where?  Do anyone have something they can lend me?  

Thanks

D'oh.

My bet is not very long before a red flag.

We had fun at yesterdays autox.  I hope the fourth heat got all their runs so we can keep our fouth run times.

However, I had to reassure Stephanie (who just moved from CA) that not all autox's out here are this cold.

Just wrapping up moving my girlfriend out from CA to here, and I think she's looking forward to the new season.

I wish I had the time and the money for her "Taxi" ride when I was there a couple months ago.
