I believe you are getting carried away now. Does he owe you some for the difference? Sure he does. Is it a complete motor, plus removal money plus freight...... not even close. Work out something reasonable and move on. It is not like the 350 is a dog and the 406 is a Clydsdale. Many believe you have the better base to do what you are looking for any way. The 400s are not a great drive around motor in my opinion because of the overheating issues. You can find a great set of heads for under a grand right on this site. And maybe he can credit card it or you two work it out. But you are asking for way too much. And yes, I do understand being told one thing and having it be another. By the way, would you rather have a 632" or a 500" cubic inch pro stock motor? For the street, having everything match and work together is the most important thing. Not huge cams, giant flow heads and other not necessary things. Hope you guys work it out.

what a motor cost to build and what one is worth is two differant things.... I told you I would accept the engine as payment. I also told you I am not driving up to Akron 10+ hours each way to correct the situation.
I do not have the vacation time accumulated nor do I have a truck. I can not take the time off from work and still have a job. Plus as I said again I dont feel this is my situation to get straight....
Tell you what I will do.... Pull the motor and crate it from carb to pan and crate it up. get quotes on sending it freight to petersburg va 23805 and give me the costs. I will pay those freight costs C.O.D. when I pick it up from the terminal ....... I will pick it up from their local terminal....I will then sell the engine in the truck to pay for the removal/installation and to cover the costs of the freight shipment from Akron to Petersburg....
