LOST The Engine!!! DAMN I Lost the 385 LT4 from Dave Ducote's car!
I don't know exactly what went down, but I won't "dog" the seller (we were just both too ignorant in the whole shipping thing). So my car will sit engine-less for quite a while longer, I won't be able to afford anything along the lines of that 385 LT4 for a while. I scrounged up $6000 in two days to pay cash for the engine...UGGGHHHH I'm just a little angry (this morning I found a company that would go to the sellers house, crate, and ship for about $575, which solved all the problems). Sounds like Big Rick bought it...
Does anyone know of another comparable engine ready for FI that is for sale?
This car needs more power!
Thanks

Good Question! I'm a little technologically challenged, so yes that is why I attach a pic of my car with most of my posts. I don't even know how to post larger pictures, like I have seen some others do...
Fire-formula 93 My dad and I made all the molds and did all of the fiberglassing, that's the only way I can afford the car is doing all the work myself with my dad.

Guys, head over to the multimedia section and enter the Photoshop Request Thread.. just mention that you're looking for somebody to make you a signature banner and post up a couple of pics of your car. Somebody should helpy you out pretty soon.

**Just thinking out loud**...if you had an agreement to buy the engine first and it was just a matter of finding shipping (which only took what, 3 days?) then I would think the seller would have stuck to the original agreement once you did find crate & ship.
