Well if you picked it up really cheap then theres your really cheap Hemi and computer with harness. Sell the rest off as parts and make your money back that way.

I use the rest of the parts myself...rebuilding salvage Aspens. I don't know, after thinking about it overnight I may just sell it and buy another with a few more miles. I could really care less if it has 50k on the clock vs. 18k...but it makes it worth more. Anybody wanna buy the driveline? $2,200 takes it ALL!

Call me strange but I would rather have a lower mileage engine :POPCORN:

Well...I could care less if it has 18 or 58...these motors are SOLID and the big thing for me is the money. A low mileage motor is worth MUCH more than a higher mileage one and I get different HEMI's in all the time...just bought another for parts today...28k on this one.

This is all still in the dreaming stages,
thinking it can be done etc.
Most of my dreams I keep to myself until I actually have something right there ready and waiting to build upon.
So pictures iof this may come but don't hold your breath VooDoo :ROTFL:

Not so much in the dream phase as it is the parts gathering phase. I have the Jeep, a few engines to choose from, a rear 60 set up for links and coilovers (spooled, 4.88's, 35spl chromos, disc brakes), coilovers (not 100% if I will use these as they are 18" travel), and LOTS of misc. parts.

Now I just need the time to get it in the shop and started on...maybe this weekend.

Tried to call... No answer. I'm only a hop skip and a road construction barrel away.

Your # end in 1186? I see it on my caller ID. I actually was here last night if that was you that tried numerous times...I just did not answer because I was trying to get some paperwork caught up and it was after hours anyway

Right now I am only about a month behind with demand...not a horrible problem...just takes time away from other things (like getting this build going).
