[T3] Motor is shot...and in a bind.

["David Hornback" <dhornback@scif.com>]

Alright, my motor is beyond repair, main bearings are gone, crank thread is bad and the
case is really not salvageable.

I was thinking of buying a 1776 from Importmotors (in Anaheim) but running my 
32's PDSIT's on it for the time being.

1. I had a s/p, do I need d/p tin to do this? I know i need the manifolds, but is the
actual cooling tin different?

2. Has anyone heard of the quality of these guys motors, www.importmotors.com ?

Thanks for any fast responses,
I sold one of my other vehicles and drive daily to work, about 7 miles each way, 
so I need to get this going again.


Also is anyone in the SoCal area that has a good longblock they'd like to sell?

Appreciate it,
Dave in LA
