In all seriousness, I think that I may have been the recipient of a "fixed" engine also (in the car that I bought). Nothing to do with this seller or anything like that though. I am preparing a reply in the appropriate posting soon though.

Jake has helped me a lot so far with this, and I am 99% sure that I will be buying one of his 3.6 engines before spring.

If I didn't have one child in college and another just about to start, I'd be all over the 3.6 upgrade...just have to wait for a while.

Ditto on the cost of children/college sorts of things these days. I think I could have bought about 4 of Jake's trick 3.6's on what we have had to spend recently. But hey, its a great time to get a new morgage and refinance the house, we just did and got 4.3%......

Im pretty sure I could come up with it if you could come up with a monster (400+hp) 3.6 for me...


I am also checking this a few times a day.. Bruce should start charging a viewing fee for such great material.

These are the only boots I've ever worn...
Not very fashionable, but effective.


Like millions others, I did it to defend this country... Unfortunately that meant also allowing people like the "seller" and "Phantom Mechanic" to carry out dishonest transactions through their "freedom" to do so..
