I placed a bid on e-bay for a buick 350 and got the used engine for 20 dollars. So happens that I found a rebuilt short block and dont need the cheap engine. The owner will not make arrangements to deliver it and it is in illinois. Anyone interested here is the auction address: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33615&item=2401485708&rd=1 good luck
If I was the seller, I would expect the $20, whether you came for the engine or not. His ad does say for pick up only, or that you are responsible for making all arrangements to have it shipped if shipping is desired. Ask Racebuicks his opinion of this... I feel for ya, but...
