	Well at least you got a spare 2.8 block there if you want to do it quickly. Or just step up your 3800 project. I know Marcel has several complete 3800's for sale to club members at a really good price.

	Ouch! Sorry to hear that, Phil. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago with an '84 SE. I was kicking myself afterwards because I actually had antifreeze for the car - in my basement.

	Oh my... Still, there's no better incentive for an engine swap than necessity!
	Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.
