Thank you everyone

I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who offered their tools/help/garages/spare motors this weekend. I did make it home, albeit on a u-haul dolley and driving a Ford Econoline. The search starts tomorrow for parts.

Thanks again

No Jim, say it ain't so! Two weeks before the first race! Bummer...

Let me know if you need anything...

Mark-
I have a new (junkyard) engine sitting in my garage. 138k miles on it, and the clutch has lots of meat left on it.. all 6 apex seals are in tact, and after spraying some fogging oil into the exhaust ports, it sounds as if it's building good compression. I also am going to be getting a new spindle either this weekend or next from the same yard I got the engine from.

Since it is a junkyard motor, your only real potential issue will be the coolant seals. If you find the motor blowing clouds of white smoke, grab a bottle of Alumaseal and you should be fine.

Will you have the car ready in time?
