:-) With what I have in mind, nothing short of a rebuild would do. Besides, Im a gearhead... Taking crap apart and making it better is what I do.

Believe it or not, my motor found me. LoL I put an add on Craigslist saying that I was looking for a 96+ 3800 Series II. And the guy just emailed me. Give that a try, you may have some luck. :-)
