Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV

[Shankin]

Not trying to pry but was the figure he was asking out of reason?

[GTO_DON]

Personally Its none of my buisness but If that were my car Id be willing to pay 10,000 for that block alone. I think it makes that big if not more than a difference in the car...Good luck to you

Don, I am not looking to sell the car or turn a profit, if that was the case the block would already be in my garage. I would love to have it no doubt, but i have 3 daughters that will be in college soon, which takes priority over the car.

Marty,

Buy the engine and sell the parts you don't want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think if you can figure out any way to do it, do it.

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.

[martyb]

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?
