If my son blows up the engine or grenades the tranny, I should be able to get close to my money back in scrap value. It's actually in decent shape since it was always garaged. But the shifter is super mushy so I need - yes, need - a short shifter for it.
That's a great idea for a car to teach on! I want to see it!

I bought a 92 S-10 to let kris drive for $500. Proved to worth it's cost ten-fold. It's a great little truck to haul mulch and wood. I use it around the property. It's ugly but starts every time. 248,000 miles on the little V6 5 speed.

You've been rather active here as of late!

I too pass through NKY to Cinci everyday!

I like the 4 weeks idea and "break in time"

I feel it's a bit early but I'll have my list to you so you can watch for deals. Also, I need cam help! I do like JDs a lot. I want a boost friendly setup, that also favors torque increase over HP.

You prefer email or on here?

Like we talked about yesterday, it's a fall thing but that damn nick got me going!
