Ken,
Do you need any extra engines/trannies? In the last 6 months I've bought
two 1500s (less than $100 ea) and a good three rail for $50. In the $500+
range it should be a recent rebuilt in good running condition. I've got a
line on trans shop that gets about $300 for a basic rebuild, as long as you
didn't trash anything in the trans.
Although I shouldn't give the impression I'd sell an engine or tranny quite
that cheap! ;-)
