I really would like the experience to "rebuild" the entire car myself but hell, if I was going to do that, I'd be painting it to and that's not going to happen in a residential neighborhood. I'm just an average joe so I don't think I'll get in on any jobber pricing but I do appreciate you looking more into it for me. At thoses prices even with shipping, I don't think I'll find much better.

I'm sure that was me he was refering to. I actually have a brother that lives about an hour outside of Nashville which would be a good excuse to visit him but I don't have the truck to haul it in, he does... lol.

Since a core or engine you ship to rebuild will be bare down to the assembled long block, you could remove the heads which will make the short block fit in the trunk of most cars. It's heavy but possible!

My other car is a Ram-Air TA hatchback... it would at least be entertaining to the other people on the roadway

I could probably borrow someones truck if it came down to it but with gas over $3 a gallon now... it would probably pay just to ship it. With the rebuild they do, does that include the heads as well? He did mention long block so I assumed so.

Yes, You will receive your original long block assembled, remanufactured, ready to to paint and install. Also included are any additional gaskets required to finish assembly/installation of your engine in your car and detailed starting procedures.

Default VIN Restamped

The easiest way to slove this dilema is get the rebuild as they are most cost effective and have a warranty. There are no inconveniences as having to borrow tools, order parts and ask friend for favors. Then have the VIN restamped. Problem solved.

Even the purists would not know!

Good Luck!

Not only is restamping the VIN on a block unethical, it can also be illegal (depending on the circumstances).

Kind of what I was thinking.
