best buy gives their employees something like a 40% discount, after im out of school my first job is probably going to be at best buy.

John is a very understanding person and if he offers to help you then that means he will not get mad. Putting in a new motor I would think is harder than changing out head gaskets. get the whole kit go to Johns if he did say he would help give him 20 bucks for beer and a bj. He will be happy. LOL. For real though, in the long run you will be happier.

Viper get, you won't regret it, trust me. My car was a shit box when i got it, but as time past i brought it back to life. Aslong as you have it in your hands and have a place to park it, you could take your time and restore, but i undersatnd you want to be able to drive to school. You'll figure it out, like goldz28 said, just go look at it.

only place i can park it is on the street, i dont have a driveway, or a garage, i dont know anyone with one either.

and i dont think john will do it for 20 bucks, and hes not gonna get a bj, atleast not from me, but you can come down from oregon and give him one...

If you blew a head gasket on a car you should really have the heads/head milled down .010 and then can use larger gaskets if you want stock compression. Therefor you would need a machine shop. If you wanted a professional type job anyway. So you would have that cost as well as mine. I am reasonable as gold said. I help people out, its not really a money thing (although if you have a hot sister, Golds BJ idea sounds swell, JK ). So take a look at it. Hear it run, see if its smoking from the engine bay. Have a local shop check it out and see what they say it is. Then you will be well informed. Good luck

John.. trying your best to get anything free.. I say i'd do it for 20 bucks, a 24 pack of Live Wire Mountain Dew, and thats basicly it, also gas money for the drive there.

That was if I was going over there to help.

well, what else could cause brown smoke when you first turn on the car?

im just trying to cover everythign before i get my mom to take me all the way down there, its an hour drive away and i dont wanna go all the way down there to be dissapointed.

[Viper_Storm]

oh and btw if i am gonna need a machine shop i might as well try to haggle the used car dude with the 6 banger down to like 5 or 600 for the 6 banger and go my orginal route.

Your not going to need a machine shop for the engine swap. Just the head gasket car if you got it..

thats the one im talking about, the red one, the one with the brown smoke when it starts up, what can cause that brown smoke?

[FormulaLT1]

I would have to see it. Lots of things can cause that. I would not just guess at it. It could be something as simple as a loose intake manifold bolt or could be as serious as a cracked block. Only way to tell for sure is look it over.

[Viper_Storm]

why would you get it machined over a blown head gasket?

[FormulaLT1]

cause the mating surfacing could have been damaged and the head may be warped. They mill it down to assure its flat and will seal correctly.
