Lightbulb Fix the Engine Of Doom!

Well since we all know what a good forum member Superfords is. I want to help him out.

Chris helped me a few times with Cars & Trucks I have broke and always was there to offer some support in other cases.

I will be setting up a PAYPAL name for anyone that wants to help Chris out. We have all helped many guys in times of needs and for the cost of a few gallons of gas from each of us Chris could be back up and running.

I live close to Chris and will give him the money once we set a deadline to turn it off.

I will post the PAYPAL account in a few minutes.



IF YOU WANT TO HELP

EngineOfDoom@aol.com is the paypal address.

I will keep track of the Money & Post who gave what.

Rich I genuinely appreciate the thought and effort, but I don't think I'd feel right accepting people's contributions.

like many have said, it's just an engine. it's not like I'm dying.

there are more important things in the world.

so while I TRUELY appreciate everyone's support, I couldn't ask for charity.

sincerely,
chris haynie

I dont think anyone will have a problem giving a few bucks here. Even if it turns out to be $500 or less. It may help some.

We are a family, we forget that at times with the Racing BS.

Lets see whats happens.

Chris, sorry to hear of your loss!

We here at "Chief Lightning Racing" have an 03 block with crank that I bought last winter just sitting in a create! As per the e-mail I sent you a while back I will front it to you until you get on your feet if you want? You pay for shipping or come and pick it up?

We even have a set of used heads in good condition 40 or 50K miles on them.

Chris, you and I have talked before and you have always answered my cry for tech help when I needed.

Please don't look at this as charity! This is one friend helping another!

Suavy "Chief Lightning Racing"

I'll give you my shortblock if you swap it for the new shortblock I want.

I've got 10,000 miles on it.

If not I sent you a small amount to get you motivated to work on your new motor,

nice

If Chris is willing to accept this (he's much deserving), count me in for $50. I can remember this spring standing there in my driveway with my blower and i/c sitting on the ground, ready to go back in say oh ****........i need torque specs. Called ford........

Put up a post and Chris responded in like 5 minutes. As far as I'm concerned, if I didn't have the right numbers, it obviously could have been catostrophic. Thanks Chris...........take the damn money!!!

I'll be willing to chip in $50. Chris's post always get checked out because they are usually no BS, here's the awesome chit I got, and here's how you put it on posts that really make this community valuable. Just take it Chris and get that damn truck back on the street where it belongs!

I talked to Chris and he said he would take it but didn't want charity. This isn't charity, it's a little pay back for what he's done for us all.

He has done some excellent play-by-plays of installations and many of us have benefited from it. I say help him to get his engine back together.

And, by the way, Chris is not a friend of mine (not that I wouldn't like that, we've just never crossed paths) and he's never spent a dime at Chikenears Custom & Performance, so don't get the idea that I'm trying to help an A+ customer or anything like that, he's just a good guy that could use some help.

Tim @ Chikenears
