Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV

[SS427]

The figure is not out of reason but it is when the person is just trying to capitalize on the fact that he has it and someone else needs it. That is not wrong and is what makes the world go around but I can see Marty's point. He never intends to sell his car so having the numbers matching engine will do nothing for him other than piece of mind knowing it was reunited with the original car. Marty and I have talked in length over dinner the other night regarding the engine and it is nothing more than a (now) built 454 with wrong dated heads, a tunnel ram and two fours which hasn't been run in MANY years. This would be a $4000 engine to anyone else and I think Marty is somewhat being held hostage because it should be with him and his car. I don't think the other person is necessarily wrong for trying to get the most money but Marty is the only one who would give him that kind of money. I think it would be nice if they could meet somewhere in the middle and make it a win/win situation.

The engine is EASILY worth $10K if Marty intended on selling the car in the near future as he would more the recoup his investment but in his situation, he would be spending a lot of money for something that will not do anything for him. He has three girls to put through college and fortunately, that is where his priorities are.

Knowing that marty is not getting his motor back for that car is not going to allow me to sleep!!!!!lol Is anyone else like this??? Family 1st tells me you must be a pretty good guy.

Shankin, I am a family first guy, that is really what matters to me. I am also a business man, and that comes in a close second for me. I am more of a car nut than most, but the cars fall 3rd in line for me.

Not being able to get paperwork on my car is what keeps me up at night!! As I mentioned, I know the original owner, and have a notarized letter from him stating the issues with the original engine, but I sure wish he would call me and tell me he found everything from when he purchased the car, that would make my day for sure.

Ill chip in a "c" note for Marty if someone will handle the fund!

Marty seems to have his priorities in order...and unlike a lot of people...knows where his original engine is located.

Who knows what might happen in the future?

I'll match you a "C" note.

I appreciate the kind gesture guys, but I would never take your money!! I am glad I know where the block is for sure, and someday I would suspect that I will buy it.

Carl, Tony,

I was thinking the same thing. I'm in for a bill, and I will handle the administrative end of the fund if noone else will. Marty, that's three bills from guys who are interested enough in seeing this blessed reunion to provide contributions without any strings attached whatsoever. And I will guess there are plenty of others who are also in a position to help out. You can call it a "grant" if you like, or pay us back when and if you would like. How are those for terms?

[martyb]

JB,

The terms are very generous, and you guys really caught me off guard with the nice gesture. I am hoping that the owner of the block will decide to let me buy the block only. If that happens, I will buy it quickly, believe me.

Thanks again for the support guys.

I am good for a "C" note as well.
Not like they are making anymore CRV's.
