    Seneca,

    One of two things I was told happened. Spun a bearing or threw a rod. It sounds like a freaking jackhammer. Ran fine before I dropped it off for a simple road force Balance job and went to start...it hesitated started and broke all in one action. I know the folks that had it broke it but cannot prove it.

    I have been quoted 5k for the pull rebuild install and tune. If I can get a cobra takeout with everything still attached...make sense to get it for a few grand more.

    Looking into transport companies now. If it is going to be done...it needs to be done by someone that knows these cars.
