Just $0.02. Good luck, I hope you get the $$.

I hear ya, the motor is a 355, but it wasn't beat, the bearing blew because one night when I got out of work there wasn't enough oil getting to the motor, I thought it was something simple like the sending unit, but it turned out the oil pump seized up and there wasn't enough oil getting to the engine, thus the broken rod bearing. I always cruised w/ that car, I occasionally stepped on the gas a little bit, but mainly babied it. The car has always had proper oil changes and was just tuned up 2 months ago. The motor has 9,000 miles on it and the body of the car has about 47,000 original miles. Thanks for wishing me luck, I'm going to need it. -Jeff.
