i may be interested in a shortblock core motor...
i've decided to just put mine back together and see if the engine is still any good after sitting up the last two and a half years... if it's good then i may actually be able to bring my car to the meets instead of drooling over everyone elses. lol

Mike, I dont know what the condition of the tranny is.. I've never driven on it. The seller did tell me that the tranny had no problems.. Since I don't know, I'll do $350.
Chris, I'll try to seperate the Tranny this week sometime and take the clutch out. Pending condition, I'll let you know how much.. But it will be definitely a good deal.

Brad, I can't believe you are going to sell your FD!! NO!!
Chris (SPICcnmGT), So, are you still interested in one of my short block I need to make space in my basement.. Jenn wants to turn it into something else (If we stay here in Bham).
I'm going to compile a list this Sunday and post it on the forum.. I'll post it here just in case first then on the Forsales section of the forum... I rather them sold locally vs. shipping them out.

Ok, truth behind it all. I'm trying to buy a few houses and flip them. I made a deal with my wife that if I sell my FD and do a few successful house flips then I can either buy a Viper, Aston Martin or something of that nature...or who knows, I may buy another FD. But I had some success with my side job (lawn care business) and I'm giving it up and I'm going to try to invest in a few houses. Selling the FD helps me pocket some emergency fund money without having to dip into savings or other investments to do so. So there ya have it. Call me crazy..it's ok.

Brad, I saw a DB7 for sale for 65k!!! Very nice price. Also Turbo Porsche's (1999-2004) are coming down, 60-70k. I was really wanting a GTS viper for the longest time but am over it now. With the age on them now I sure do not want to do a V10 rebuild?!!
