If i take this to court, the judge gives me a motor and fees associated....
what do you mean a 2bolt main 350 engine gives me a better base to do what i want to do? I wanted the 406 that was promised and have to do nothing to it.... I didnt want to have to build the motor in the truck and fix what i knew needed fixed..... I am not being unreasonable at all..... I want what was promised. I tried to negotiate with the cat to ease the burdon and asked 4 1500 dollars..... he doesnt have money....he offered my engine back for an exchange of the one in the c10 and me to come to him 20+ hours to get it straight........ NOT HAPPENING.... i am going to have to pay someone to fix what he misrepresented. again NOT HAPPENING..... this isnt my situation to fix. it is his.....he sent me a message stating if he had the money he would just send the motor back to me and be done..... I offered to pay to have it freight shipped.... But I am not going to pay freight and removal/install..... I would be lucky to get 1500 for the engine in the truck.... 1500 if i can get that pays 1000 for removal and install of the 2 engines and pays me back the 500 give or take it is going to cost in freight....
I am being more than fair.....
I have offered many options to him and the only viable one to him includes me driving 20+hours and giving him a motor back and me paying for gas, a truck rental and paying someone to remove and then install an engine that was supposed to be there in the first place.....
again NOT HAPPENING....
Im prepared to go to court over this and I am pretty certain (90% certain) the ruling is in my favor for everything I am asking.....
And I am willing to gamble if need be ......
I have gone out of my way to try to make things fair and it has been unacceptable to Wally...

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....
