I guess my though process was this:
-- current engine has weak rear cylinder compression. Knowing these motors likely bad rings. Leakdown confirms suspicions.
-- Now have in my head that this engine will likely need rebuild/replace at some point in the car's life. As I plan to hold onto this car for a good time to come. Hence the money being invested.
-- Will be Supercharging the car
-- So the question becomes, boost this one and when it is no good, be out of a car, pay for a new engine ($1000-1500 minimum, maybe more becuase I'll prolly be in a rush to get it in), and still only have a used engine being boosted
-- Ding ding buy another engine and build it/buy a built one and swap it in when the time comes.
So I don't know. Maybe I should just stop thinking engine for now and get the supercharger stuff first? Then see how it plays out on the car and if it's rough I'll start looking for an engine?
I just doubt I'll ever find a deal like this again. Also, it seems my co-worker will be doing Top fuel dragsters in Flordia very soon, and could probably pick this engien up for me. Hence, price would only be around $1900.... maybe $2100 once I pay a few bucks around to say thank yous.

How are you going to take this on without a garage?

Looking for something a little less risky for the Fire Season, or is the new wife urging you to buy a house "together", instead of moving in to the house she married?

Well the 3.5 has a few sub harnesses that connect to the engine harness. Such as the rear coilpacks and injectors. If you can recall off the top of your head what are the others (if any) I would like to know. I think the knock sensor pigtail is classified as a subharness too but I'm pretty sure I can use my dek one.
My cousin bribed me with $200 not to sell it. Lol.

City where we want to move has mansions, (relatively speaking) for far less than what we paid for our house.

Just got back from the local vinyl shop. There's a visual mod in the works for the G next week when I'm having the lower rear bumper vinyl wrapped in dark gray. Been slowly working towards this idea for some time, and it's going to happen next week.
Pics when it happens, if only so Hustler can say how much he hates it.

The new one I'm looking at was built in 2011, never been occupied so that's cool.

Seems weird it was never occupied for that long, I'm sure you would anyways, but make sure you get an inspection first.

You may have been, I don't know because I neglected to check my notes on your personal bio. So my bad.
Different tastes in houses, then. So this new house... 3 car garage maybe?

, this deal is far from being final, and in fact probably wont even get that particular house .... but the general price and size of house are what make buying in this other town a cooler option.Just the drive will SUCK!
Currently I drive 27 miles to and 27 miles from. New joint is like 75-80 one way.
Hence my ? for aack .... Needs 6MT with taller 6th for moar MPGees.
And still fun.
Can;t be taking the Genesis, too many miles. Nor the Maxi because racecaw ... And FFS the pathfinder, 14-16 MPG..

Very nice.
150 mile round trip could be 2.5 hours a day in the car. I suppose it's do-able, if it's straight highway at highway speeds. Either way, that's a pretty serious consideration you're taking on, Manny. Good luck, whatever you choose.
You funny. But that certainly is one way to look at it.
Imagine paying more in heating costs than your actual mortgage. Still worth it, though, because Character > Plastic doors, IMO.

I didn't realize it was about a song's lyrics until a few days ago, since I don't really listen to "Top 40" pop channels.
