A guy calls me today and asked if I would build him an engine. He has a 1996-7 Cobra and just needs the bottom end freshed a bit. No problem I said.We do that sort of thing all the time. He asked how much it would cost, and I gave him a rough estimate. Then, and here's the sweet part, he asked if I would consider taking a 2003 Mach 1 crate motor as trade for the rebuild. Uh....you damn right I will!! Anyway, the Cobra motor has all the parts and such, rings, bearing, machine work has already been done, and so on. It just needs to be put back together. I hate to just take the engine from him like that, and I told him that. He stated that he had no use for the Mach 1 engine and just wanted to get rid of it. The engine has never been started, outside of whatever the factory did. This is going to be nice.

Later.
