Thank you so very much.
I should add, Im not necessarily looking for someone who has 2-3 short blocks but maybe someone who has one or knows of someone with one and would collect up a couple more off Gumtree or other classifieds so they can make some money.
I had an Engine company that normally deals in Jap import engines willing to help but they wanted me to buy whole drive lines (engine and trans) at over $1000 each. I see engines on Gumtree for less then $300 and I dont need the trans or even the top of the engines so shipping the whole drive trains was going to very very expensive and totally unnecessary.
I am trying to avoid hopping on a plane, renting a Ute and driving around pulling them out from under peoples decks and junk yards haha.
