Well when I get back from Ohio or michigan delivering the green machine to bizzy .I was wondering if instead of having my new 92(that does not run)shipped here from California if one of you guys would be interested in me shipping it to one of you.and having it looked at and mabe fixed (for a price of course) as when I get it here I can not do much of the work myself as I am disabled and can not lift much .but I could drive down and help . although I have not been able to work since I got the big "C" Cancer I used to be a pretty good machinist so I am not completely useless .but my plans with the 92 as it being our third SHO is to start off by doing as little or as much as needed although price is a definate issue I will pay whatever is needed.first by tearing domn the 3.0 thats in it and seeing if it can be salvaged by having the crank reground ,balanced, and new bearings and rings installed or if I can find a decent deal on a 3.2 that runs well I would just do the bearings and install it.unfortunately I live in Albuquerque but I used to live in Glendale does that count? and I have a useless sister living there now somewhere but I have not seen or heard from her much in the last ten years .all I know is the last owner picked it up from a shop in roseville where he had some work done and they did not refill the oil .So half way home he said it locked up and it has been stored for two years .I was even considering trading my present 92 for the work on the new one (new to me atleast) the only thing wrong with my present 92 is a little body damage to the left rear quarter panel but the only way I would consider this is if the person who gets it must promise never to part it out as I would never betray her that way .of course if I can afford it I would rather keep it too and might even make it my daily driver and use the 92 white one for my future turbo mods.I just love the 92's I am not sure why I have such a loyalty to that year but if it were not for the fact thatI needed a auto for my wife the 93 would have been the holder of my future engine swap instead of our daily driver or her daily driver.Well what do you guys from the hottest place on earth think ?I know this as I was there when they had the heat wave in 89 or 90 and my motorcycle helmet melted.LOL of course your friends in flagstaff never had to endure that atleast not like we did in Phoenix .I do however build gaming computers,servers and car pc's so I could make this a win win situation for all of us .thanks:) mabe I am so loyal to the 92 sho is because even though I have not brought mine to the track I did use a Tazzo performance computer in mine and got a 15 second quarter mile that might not sound too impressive until you realize I live in the hghest altitude of any major city and that if I was at sea level it would have been even faster .not that I think the Tazzo unit is the best way to test performance but they are pretty accurate once dialed in so I have always considered my 92 as somewhat of a freak .anyhow let me know what you all think

I'm kind of busy right now but you could at least get it here and we could diagnose it for you. I have a spare 3.0 that I don't know the condition of, that I would sell to you even cheaper since you're doing a major part of the Great American SHO Relay.

I have a weak back that causes me to have to take it easy sometimes, but I sure that I could talk some of the younger AZ SHO Club guys into giving me a hand for the heavy stuff.

I currently have six SHOs here, what's one more.

my back is also an agonizing situation but it does not stop me completely. the 3.0 sounds promissing so I would be very interested if it runs well .and I will try to pick up an extra tranny so I can ship it to miss bizzy as I want an lsd and a high performance clutch by the first of september. 6 does that include that off road beast? I plan to take some pics on the trip with my digital camera so I will get pics with the car in front of some landmarks on the way and post the progress.

I make it a habit to NOT compare my woman or The Other Woman to other women or cars. :biggrin:

That was just SHO cars, I now have two buggies with SHO motors in them here, but alas, The Other Woman only is mine.
