ok, heres a deal. I have a excellent running 2.8 I had professionally rebuilt aprox 50k miles ago, I blew the clutch and gave the car to my dad, the engine is sitting at my dads house now in the car - he is doing a electric conversion and does not need it, but should be easy enough to remove as I previously removed all the exhaust, top/mid intake and some other stuff. now, the deal is, you can have it for free with these stipulations: June 30th (sat) I will transport it to your house, we need a crew of at least 2 other people besides Jerry and I, the more the merrier to get this in and running in a day. We will need someone with a cherry picker to get this in(and the decklid will need to be taken off cuz I dont work seriously on fieros with the decklid on!) if worst case I can disassemble the cherry picker I have, but would rather not as its a real pain. we need lots of mt dew to thirst on, and if you have a grill maybe we can get someone else to bring some burgers or something. Jerry, respond asap and contact local fiero people, the less tools and stuff I dont have to bring the easier on my gas mileage (bringing mini-van)

I have a portable Weber propane grill and some tools. Easy enough to stop at a grocery store for burgers and stuff. It's a little bit of a drive for me but I'd be willing to help- even if it's just to provide some muscle power!  We could make it a mini Fiero meet!

It's already figured out if you'd just take your head out of your ass and let us help.

Seriously...
You've got a few guys willing to help swap engines, and Back on Holiday is going to give you the extra engine. Dude.. don't give them time to change their mind.. Just say .. "Thanks, you guys rock, and I'll have hot dogs waiting on June 30".. Then have fun swapping engines
We all run into issues.. It's how you handle them that matters.. You've got "friends" willing to help- let them.

right, but you guys are trying to help me get a car to go to school June 25th.
which is now impossible.
I got promoted to supervisor 2 MONTHS ago.. and was SUPPOSED to be trained by now. i was just told yesterday that ive still got like 3 weeks to wait!!! i was depending on that raise and money by now. at this point, insurance and everything is impossible.. schools coming up way to fast. i think the school starts every 3-6 months so im calling tomorrow. like i said im picking up job #2 again.. so i can be sure i make it for the next semester. Theres no aruging this one.. i have to wait. period.
but as far as the car, if you guys still want to help, regardless of school waiting, its up to you, i guess ill give in this time cause Andrew is ready to kill me!!
