My condolences Mike, I've got a similar problem myself, I may be going for a new 360 :( Since you do your own work, you may be able to get another big block in there much cheaper than $3000. I'd see if I could get something at the yard, from a friend etc., just to keep Silver running. You could store the original motor somewhere for a rebuild. Later when your rich :) Hopefully you'll be able to get her going cheap. Don't listen to me though, I never sell anything. Good Luck, ROb _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
