roundhound, thanks for the offer. found shane cloer in calhoun at newly opened SIX4 MOTOWORKS who is doing the whole job including pulling engine. a good friend, a new freind, told me about shane, who taught auto mechanics a gordon high for several years. friend said ford dealer calls shane on occasion for help. saw video of golf cart shane put a 350 chevy in running across the parking lot. couldnt even see engine in cart. he's had it a few days. cant wait to get back riding. just saw your post.
