Bill,

You should take a trip and visit Michigan. We could rebuild your engine the
way you want, remove and replace it in my buddy's fully equipped shop and
have ya running and out the door for a lot less than that. Might cost you a
few boxes of barley sodas. but unfortunately it'd be tough to get your Jeep
here now since it's torn down..

Chris,

I love Michigan. I used to work on Mackinac Island several summers and my
father worked there many more summers than I. I also lived down by Pontiac
in a town called Davisburg, close to Mt Holly and near Clarkston. Lots of
nice women there to :-)

Also, the UP is wonderful. Filled with State and National Parks.

Where are you at?

Well, as I mentioned to Mike, I did some heavy leg work in this area and
this price is the best I could get. I stuck without buds in this area and
no place to work :-(. I just came back from a visit to my home state
Florida and yes, there I would have access to friends who have both,
mechanical knowledge and a big place to work. Sometimes you just gotta bite
the bullet and do it.


Thanks,

Bill

I'm in the UP, but just barely. Right on the Wisconsin border, so you've
definitely been in my area before.
