Exclamation CO: Help with 3.0 Engine swap Aug 7th PLEASE!

Sunday August 7th i am swaping my 3.0 for a 3.0 . Anyone in the Denver area who is bored or wants to be really nice and come and give me a hand i would be greatful and provide lunch and drinks and what ever else it takes to get some one out here. I live in south east Aurora (Saddlerock), If you know stuff or don't i just need the hands, and the company is nice also.

I have to get my 90 runner up and running so i can have somthing to drive my kids around in, It is hard to have them if i can't take them to school ro pick them up :cry:! Okay enough of the sob story. let me know if you can and i will give you directions and my #. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing come sunday... probably nothing. If nobody chimes in, Ill be happy to be an extra pair of hands. I don't know anything about engines but it'd be nice to learn some. PM me if you want me there.

I might be avaliable to help as well. I've helped on a couple engine swaps before, but never a 3.0. PM me the directions and your number and I'll talk to the wife and see what I can work out.

B, I'm sorry I can't make it. I would definitely like to give you hand but I'm flying out to Houston this weekend. I hope all goes well with your swap.

Red 85: I think I can help out on Sunday morning. Lindsay might stop by too. I have helped on a 3.0-3.0 swap before. Nothing too hard. We have a thing at about 2:00 so I can only put in a half day.

We promise the next time we go your way, we will bring more graphics

That's a long drive just for an engine swap... but then again...if you had my help -it wouldn't take that long J/K

I might be able to help, but I don't know anything about these engines. PM me with directions and a number. I live down in Franktown.

Yeah we would work faster If we had someone to make sandwiches and bring us drinks, and MuddMonkey probably is good with a wrench.
I Know !

Thanks people for you support and help we should be able to have it done pretty quickly and have some fun while we are at it too.
