Hey Marty...Did he give you a price on buying the engine outrite from him?

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

Marty, do what ou have to do to get the motor. There is also the possibility of taking out a small home equity loan if you don't have the cash. Seriously, don't snooze on this one. Get that motor.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

Marty,

That car looks strangely familiar. Has someone posted pix of the car here before? Even the license plate seems familiar.

COOL CAR, and a dual snorkle to boot. I know how easy it is to become emotionally attached to a car (your Viper), and it's VERY easy for all of us to give advice but I think most of the guys here speak from the heart when they say they'd love to see the original block reunited with the car........ me included. I sincerely hope you can find a way to get this done,............. and soon!

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

I agree, unless this individual is being totally unreasonable on the price, I would try like heck to get that engine!!

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

thanks everyone, yes I posted pix of my car a few years ago on this site.

Could be, but Marty's car AND garage also looked familiar.

Chris,
Maybe I did reply to Marty earlier,.... but I irritate,......... I mean 'converse' with too many people over a two or three year period,................ and age takes its toll on the memory bank! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

oh, I might as well throw this in since I haven't used it yet https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...BruceRocks.gif

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

Well, I tried! We discovered that the heads on the engine are not dated correctly, and the heads on my engine are, meaning I would really just like the short block(or block for that matter). The owner of the engine does not want to seperate the engine, which I can certainly understand. As I mentioned earlier, I will never sell the car, so the CE engine will continue to power the car the 200-300 miles per year that I drive it.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

You better then anyone know how important it is to have that,but you also have a limit to what you can afford.
Sorry it didn't work out for you Marty.
Rick

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

Thanks Rick

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I'll match you a "C" note.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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?

JB

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

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.

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

I am good for a "C" note as well.
Not like they are making anymore CRV's. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Anybody missing an LS6 Engine??? TO316CRV
 

If the guy doesn't want to negotiate the block only, then do one of two things, buy the whole works, parts out the extra stuff, or find yourself a run of the mill 454 block and swap everthing over and sell it. Based on experience selling off the extra parts will probably be the way to go though.
