It would have been the perfect car to do it.
But then again,timeline could have been an issue(availability)

That complaint belongs to the parts department otherwise known as Matt!! I'm only here to offer positive reinforcement and suggest a timeline.

I remember Nick saying how excited he was to get it finished. Just let him show us that excitement through 20 hour days!! Lol

Tell him to hold on to the money. Use it as reserve because we all know where it's gonna end up. Hello, 5th motor.

I screwed that up royally. Here's a question. So, we know you weren't sent in the wrong direction by Don, but did you ever considering selling the blocks and putting the money towards a ERL block or an RHS block? Just something I was wondering.

I could just ship the other block to erl and have it sleeved which I will prob do down the road. If something catastrophic happens to this motor in a relatively short amount of time the car will not need a motor bc I will park it.

The old shop told me they were sending that block to erl. They never did. Or I'd have an erl block now. I don't think the ls3 block is a problem at this stage.

Erl takes time. Selling other blocks takes time. It's easier to just send my other block. It's junk with one bad cylinder as it sits.

I did call erl after i dropped the car at dons and at that moment they had no ls3 cores and would need mine. I didn't get my old block back until over a month later. So that didn't work out.

The block is not the problem. The use of the old head was.

The direction this car has taken it would be a good idea to send in the old block and have it upgraded to a 6 bolt/ sleeved setup for a spare in the future. That can wait though.
