Mini Starter Help

Some people just have to spend more than others just to get to the same place I guess. :D

Not really. Just don't want to be let down by putting a used part on a fresh engine. How do you know that the salvage yard piece wasn't on it's last leg when the truck got scrapped?

My brother showed me his $120 pair of tennis shoes one day and I asked him why the hell he would spend 120 bucks on a pair of tennis shoes?
He said the 120 ones last longer that the 20 dollar ones.
I said for 120 bucks I could have brand new shoes 5-6 times a year, and they would only have to last two months.

I can't wear $20 tennis shoes either. I'm on my feet about twelve hours straight and my back and legs would be killing me. $80 Nike's are good and don't cause any pain but don't last worth a damn.

How much longer till your car is back on the road again?
It'll be nice to get it back running again won't it?

If this project keeps snow balling it may be this time next year! Seriously, the machine shop has been given permission to put me back into their working que. They have a couple of customer ahead of me, but maybe by Labor Day I'm hoping. I still have to get the engine compartment painted before I stick the new engine in. Should be able to start on that next weekend.
