Anyone want to help me?

I have $5,000 to my name, and 2 semesters of school left at over $8,000 a sester. I was planning to get my heads/manifold/tb/headers, wires/injectors and ecm installed but I ended up having to spend alot of money on behalf of my dad/mom's situation (hes in a nursing home) and I have no mechanical ability.... rather, no real experience. I have all these parts sitting here and no means of ever having them installed Places wanted over $1500-2500 to do it, and I just cant justify that.

so if anyone was looking to hang out, get drunk and do a cam/heads install and basic ****, i'd reallllly appreaciate it

Somehow that just seems like an understatement! You want to make this challenging and we can blindfold you?

My weekends are booked thru Oct but if you do it after that I might be able to help. Hey, maybe we can resurrect the CJCFO crew and get Big Show to fetch beer and Jeff to reach all the hard to get to bolts!

LT1's are too easy to work on. We need something more challenging like a transverse mounted V6!
