Well it appears, this is going to sideline me for quite a while, need to purchase a new engine, my mechanic informed me that he advises purchasing a Jasper crate engine LS1, for about $4700 then all the work hours to replace it. UGH! But he's throwing a new water pump.

However, I got this car a few days after 9/11, brand new, with 6-miles on it, and the repair / labor hours still beat the cost for a used Camaro and definitely that of new one.

Hence miss the meeting on 2/23....

Any advice?
