    Boy I screwed up! In thinking that if I went out and got all the parts I needed to convert my car to eight cyclinder, that a local garage would help me out before the star of car show season. Car show season starts 5-13-07 , and the car is no closer to being started then the day I bought it.:mad: I really wanted to take the car to ford carlisle the first week of June but the way things are going It might be doen by september.

    I really hate letting a 302/ 350 hp motor just sit around and collect dust.

    Thanks for letting me vent.

    Sorry to here of your trouble. One rule of thumb I learned a long time ago. I never ever really on anyone but myself. Where are you in PA I am close to Allentown. Maybe you can make the car show Das Augcht Fest In Macungie, PA. That show is in August.

    Rent a hoist and do it yourself. A friend of mine and I converted mine in one weekend.
