I just ask for gas $ and some pizza's while working. Some people I'd charge if I'm doing all the work. If a few people are around to help that changes things. I don't care if they don't know anything. I can just tell them what to do. Now the issue is what engine to do. If Dave can get a good FR made we can do a full swap. We still need to do rod bearings. Also need to fab EGR pipes and instructions from Staz on how to do the TB bracket.

Stazi, i hope it didn't seem like i was balking at the price, it was more than fair. I just couldn't pull it off at the time with other things going on (adoption for instance) I am now in a position where I might just pay someone (you maybe) to do it, but if I can find a garage and a few volunteers, I wouldn't mind attempting it the pizza and beer rout first. If nothing can be arranged, in the next couple of weeks, I might be forced to bring it somewhere.

Well you, Dave, and I can do the engine in a weekend. I don't recommend it but it can be done with 3 guys.
