that was actualy pretty easy...
engine is out and ready to go, along with all the wiring, ECM, intake, MAF, starter, alt, ETC....
so as soon as you get a company, its ready to go....

OK, i found a company, ubt i am not sure on all the info.
i told him it weighed like 425lbs and i said just for a rough estimate i was gonna send it to Los Angeles (only city in Cali i could think of) so its not going to be an exact price, but if you have more info for me i can get you a better one. (he's gonna call me back in like 10 minutes with the quote)

no, i was expecting him to fallow through with an agreement. the deal was clearly $500 and he pays shipping. then he turns aorund and says oh... i meant you pay it. all the time i spent pulling that harness out and ****, that alone is worth $150.
and yes, i want to part it out but i am not going to "sell a hundred dollar bill for five bucks" if he would have stated $500 shipped, i wouldnt have wastd all my time pulling the entire engine!! i woulda simply taken the turbo and head off, sold them for like $300 and called it a day! just because i am parting it out doesnt mean i am going to give **** away, the ONLY reason for parting it is to try and get back some of the money i spent on the car to begin with!

Understood. But you didn't pull the engine for nothing... you prolly woulda pulled it all out anyway. AND you could part the whole car out on ebay for a ton of money.

OK, first off the engine is all his, i believe everything to be taken care of at the moment... and i would like to apologize to everyone for kinda losing my cool, but as you can guess, its been a rather "stressful" couple weeks for me.
