So I managed to find a 5.3 for a temporary motor in the trans am untill I can managed to rebuild the 5.7 or build a decent motor for it.
That being said I don't have a solid concrete pad or driveway to pull the ls1 out of the TA. The engine lift method is a far cry from since my driveway is dirt and the lift just wants to sink. So I am looking for an a frame or gantry crane to borrow to do the motor swap. I would say I could possibly rent a space for a bit but I have no money left to afford any of that. If anyone has one I could borrow for a few days that would be great.
It's a good offer however if I can rent a spot for 100 why would I be willing to take a loss on the possibility of selling the heads for more than what I can't rent that spot for plus it would be closer to me. The reason I'm not even trying to rent that spot is because I am fully moneid out. I just finished paying for last semesters tution Andy know I have to replace a trucks transmission as well. I can't afford to even let a penny slip through right now.
The reason for borrowing is that it will take me morethan a day to have it done. Have a few other things that need to be done to the car at the same time. Getting the car to the place along with a motor. I have no trailer or truck no since the trans in my truck let loose yesterday.
I don't know **** about that guy, but I needed the heads for a customer and was willing to tow your car as well. Not to mention leaving it at my shop, I can ensure nothing will happen as it is on my property.
So, was my help worth 300$ for the heads I just picked up? Bet your *** it was. But I made the offer because I needed the heads for someone. Now 300$ later I have them and the offer is dead.

You hadn't told me you would tow it if I remember correctly if not I have overlooked it. I appreciated the offer but with money being tight it wasn't a viable option for me. As far as the heads they were still on the car with me driving it right now. Pulling the heads off would have left me without car. And by that I am talking in worse case scenario. I parked it to get ready to swap motors.
I would have had no issues leaving the car there. I have seen your work and like what you do. I even try and send people your way when they ask about places to go. I just can not afford to loose a penny if any ATM. If I could you where the first place I would have went to. And with this weather I have been trying to set aside money to possibly see what you would have charged me. Like I said I really apriciated the offer but just could not do that at the moment. If you have an issue with that I'm sorry. Feel free to message me here or on Facebook if you want to talk about it more.
Well, you have been around for a while and know the people I know, so I was waiting to see if you were interested, then I would have offered to pick it up if you needed me to.
Just hope you get it going without any setbacks. Seems you have enough issues with that and the trans for another vehicle.
