Default I just keep getting kicked while im down...

Looking into buying a shortblock and get told the shipping is 380. Next my alternator goes and I stall at a light on a major highway. Then I go to change it and break the wire that goes to the ecu. And in the process I find my steering rack is leaking along with my blow by and rear main seal... Can I please get a break...

No because I was on my moms policy and she took a pay cut and lost health insurance. She still has her job but not for much longer. My dad has been unemployed for 2 years. I still have my job thank god but am only working everyother Saturday due to school. It sucks going from working full time over the summer to working every other Saturday. Lucky for me I made enough to afford a new engine. And still have a little left. I'm 17... Still in high-school lol. But lucky for me I got a job working at a dodge dealer. When schools out Il be back to full time again can't wait for that.

i think your priorities are a little off. if you're in a tough situation maybe you should think about putting the money elsewhere instead of buying a new engine for your hotrod.

This is true... Or maybe I just get a rotating assembly for my block and fix my ls1 instead of a 390 iron block which saves me from buying an iron block.
