soooo close to putting this cursed thing up in the for sale section....
mechanic finally gets around to the final steps of assembly after 1/4 of a year waiting. i was so excited to get the car wednesday i couldn't wait.
old block stripped bare, everything transferred over to new block over 1 1/2 days time.
today the mechanic goes to mate engine to tranny, finds out the crank won't match up. i was sent an engine for an automatic car.
after email and phone contact specifying a 5 speed shortblock....and the engine being returned once, they sent me a motherfucking automatic engine.
now i'm furious, my mechanic wants to know who's paying for a day and a half of laboring, and the engine retailer wants all kinds of proof that i'm not making this up. and, if i don't have the car back by easter i can rent a car for a week again since Jen will be in VA for a week. oh yeah, i'm bleeding money like a seive....
