    Still not a good idea.

    Your talking about a machined surface with extremely tight tolerances.

    Honestly I think rock therapy is out the window for baby T. Unless some magic happens and I somehow get a fix together over spring break.

    Currently I am thinking about throwing on the valve cover and rolling it out of the garage and into the street. Save my money for the next few months to rebuild my bank account and then purchase the used engine and swap it in over the summer. I have to work weekends but only a few hours throughout the day so I will have time to work on it. Ill host a swap party and hopefully some of the wyo guys can lend a hand for a day. Ill sell the old engine to whomever will take it.

    Id be down. I could probably borrow a trailer and my dad would help me get it up there with his dodge. Not sure what I would do with the spare engine though?

    I mean the old one. The motor is 10 minutes from my parents and I am guessing they will help load it. I guess the old one will just go in the truck and Ill have to rent a hoist for an hour to get it out.
