Greatest deal EVER!!!!

First off, it's been a while since I postd. I'm computer illiterate, adn to make a long story short I "accidentally" erased my harddrive Oh well, anywho, As many of you know i burnt out my 3.8 in my Camaro, adn have been in the market for a 3.8, adn for a T5, cause I didn't want to return to the Auto because I road race. Well I looked around on here, LS1 tech, and eBay, and motors are expensive and Highmmileage too (150K+) and T5 trans were goingo fr 400 without any accessories. I had 1 guy say he'd sell me one for 200, but it would cost 250 to ship. So on a whim I decide to go to our local junkyard to see what they might have for 3.8's, see what I can rebuild, when out of my eye I see something red....its a 98 Camaro, clean, I mean oyu could of eaten off of it. apparently the car rear ended someone, and cracked th ebumper, fenders, adn bent the hood. Score!!!!!, so then I quickly run to see if it's 5 speed or auto... DOUBLE SCORE!!!! I was freaking out so badly because I had to work that day, adn I had no tools with me. So I sent my friend out there 9am sharp today to start takign it out. I got there at 2:30 and most of the motor and trans is undone. before 5 the motor is out and ready to go in the back of my truck. I got the motor/trans still together, with a spare top end adn heads anda few sensros for only 388, not bad considering I paid 12 dollars less then what it would cost to just buy trans without the clutch and accessories. So now the task of delicatly disassembling the Trans and motors top end and replacing gaskets and such ,adn having this thing running by late May/early June. Go me, even if it is V6, im damn happy.
