Re: Everybody Who Loves Vettes Read This, I Am Shocked!!!!!
Justin,There is only so much a fellow can do with some of these car owners. I spend 1/2 my life advising Corvette owners what to do and a good % of them just do their own thing.
I remember telling a certain 65 owner years ago that I had the original FI unit for his car. He said his car was running fine and he was not going to touch it. But I said to him. Your serial number is stamped on the plenum!!! He said he didn't give a crap as he wasn't spending anymore money on the car. So I went to plan B. Sanded the number off and restored the unit. It broke my heart to do so. I will never forget that. Some guys just don't care. Ever try talking numbers to a street rodder?(I was one for many years)
Justin I feel for you and you are to be commended for attempting to do such a good deed. But I wouldn't loose any sleep over it as the car owner doesn't realize how much more his car is worth with the original engine. I imagine the car has a lot of issues other than a CE block. Probably a real piece of work. Or maybe the poor guy doesn't have any cash. Might even be unemployed.
Try buying the car from him. JD
