XX engine on Craigslist

[gtx6970]

rebuilding on a budget isn't as easy as it sounds. I'm  currently building  a 340 for a local customer and I think I'll be on the north side of $2000 in parts and machine work when I'm done, and that does  NOT include labor

Well at least it was someone one here that was the high bidder. I was hoping that it would find its way back to Rick, and it appears it will eventually.

[Charger Aficionado]

Okay guys.  Update:  Talked to seller, and confirmed that I'm traveling there after I get my Charger.  He was okay w/ a delay, but agreeded to wait for any money until I got there (thank God he was nice enough to do that). 

So I'm in Ca now, and ready to head up North to get the '70.  And of course it started storming... 

Talked to Rick and we made an arrangement that is great for both of us.  It will all work out.

jude your the man

[Ghoste]

I wondered if it was you Rick because I knew that if you did it instead of dictating to your personal assistant, then it meant you were feeling pretty pleased about now.  As well you should.

[talkiemopar]

     Yes i am very  pleased that it all worked out .It only took 11 months Rick 

[69_500]

Easy with the hair pulling there Rick, there isn't that much left up there to be pulling on.

Glad to hear that you did finally get the engine. So now how long until that car comes to live in my garage?

  Pettybird  I think your check got lost in the mail. I waited and waited but it just never got here You should have used a stamp on it instead of writing return to sender to save 42 cents    Rick
