Eddy, I'm sorry to hear about your motor. The last motor that did that to me was a small block chev, It popped at the 'Welcome to Cache Creek' sign, at midnight, in my motorhome, with my wife, two kids, and mother-in-law.
While everyone else panicked, I pulled over and camly went to bed.
We wound up leaving that one behind, and getting a new motorhome, now I always have BCAA. They would have towed the damn thing home for me, free! Less than $150 a year, the BCAA is cheap insurance in my mind.
If you wind up with vixentd's long block, you could recoup a little by selling the extra head (to me?). Seriously, I'd be interested in the head, but likely not have money for a couple weeks. I just bought another car (92), so that ties up everything I've got this week.
And it sounds like there are a few of us who might be able to give you a hand with swapping a new one in. Motor swap GTG at Eddy's place?
