     Eric,
        
        What'd you ask them so that they didn't laugh at you when you 
     called.  I got the tranny mounts at I-10 but basically I just asked 
     for two more of these, and handed the guy the tags off the others I 
     got mail order.
     
        part numbers, etc.?
     
     345/392 availability?  I may just go for that since, the other options 
     were to rebuild it myself (yeah like I have time) or have someone my 
     Uncle knows, build it (magnaflux, hone, bore, get parts, worry, think, 
     ponder.  I think I'd pay another couple hundy not to have to worry, 
     just drop and swap.  Sounds like the cheapes you can get the build for 
     is around $1200.  The other remans I've heard of were $1800, with a 
     1200 core charge.
     
        I kinda want to keep my old motor if I do a swap.  Anyone ever 
     bought an engine direct from the dealer?  I wonder if the oil pressure 
     really reads high like it should.
     
        Thanks,
