Went by today to talk to the service manager and asked her if my new engine had arrived. She told me that it hadn't. She says that the factory has to pull them off the line and they don't do that lightly. When I asked her if she had any idea when the engine would arrive she hemmed and hawed and said she needed to talk to the Heavy Line guy. Well I told her I'd wait while she did that. She kinda stormed off in the back. When she came back she said "Your engine arrived two hours ago"

Here are the pics

BA,

Good to see you finally recieved the engine. Now if you can just convince the b**ch, uh, I mean SERVICE Manager, to let the line guy install it sometime this year, you'll be back in business! LOL ;-)

Man, I'm glad I don't have to work with a mgr so irritating at the dealer I use.

Good Luck.

Tsip.

It's scheduled to be installed on June 20th.

We'll see.

 

Hey, while they have the engine out and easily excessible, you ought to have them toss on some headers. It would be a lot cheaper that way. Just an idea.
