I shouldnt have to drive up to you and spend MY MONEY and MY TIME to come get a motor I should have already had.... I didnt go to you to make a trade and Im not coming to you to get it straight. I said I would take the engine in the Monte as payment (but it still isnt a 406 I was promised) but i know the guy that built the motor and know what its about.... I still will not pull the motor out of the c10 and return it even if I took the Monte Carlo engine. I would have to take the truck and pay someone 500 to 1000 dollars to uninstall the engine as I have no hoist or means to do such. I was willing to take 1500 dollars to make things easy and be fair. But now that I am being accused of just chasing money, I want what I was promised me. and I plan on using the 350 engine to pay someone to do the engine swap......
I dont have to be the nice guy here. I was the one that didnt get a motor i was told was in the truck.... and now I have taken the stance that I wont use ANY OF MY TIME OR MONEY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.... I need a fresh mild 406 just as the ad and the windshield of the truck said....
I dont care what the guy told you was in the truck. I told you that you had the same rights as I do to get your money back, and you said you were happy with your trade with him and was not going to talk to him...
I was told I was getting a Fresh Mild 406 and thats what I want now. Im done being the nice guy....
