Title: dilemma
Post by: 2502 on November 15, 2009, 04:20:54 pm
what to do...

here's my issue, i got that 79 project that's torn apart... i just got a call that the motor is rusted and there's water all thru it. it's now sitting on motor mounts, with only the cab on the frame.

should i scrap it, or get another motor? its gonna get put together but regardless it's a heft project swapping yet the bed over, the rear end, etc...  so i'm trying to think of the most effective way to deal with this from both a cost standpoint and from the time thats' already been put into this thing...

Pull the engine and pull it apart.

i gotta pay the guy to do the work, and since i've had so many eager people willing to help that have done the exact opposite, that makes me nervous... what kinda mess am i getting into by doing that?
