I'll be there around 10:00 to 10:30.  Four people so 4 dozen fresh out of the fryer Krispy Kreme donuts?

Leaving for Scott's shortly.  Anyone else coming?  Need to know if I need to get more donuts.

Late, but if you get a chance, I'd like a few pics of the transmission, where the 3 humps are, with the flat end.

Hey boss, let me know if you need any bits, exhaust, shields, pieces, hoses, what not's, etc.. off my 88 2.8.  I'm stripping it down today to recycle the block either as a base to a table (probably not :D ) or off to the recyclers..

Between the 2 motors, we probably have everything.  There's 1 pile that will go to the parts barn.  The other pile will go on the replacement motor if we can figure out where it goes. 

Everything but the block, if good, is worth saving.  Timing cover, pan, intakes, manifolds and crossover pipe.  Even the heads, if they are good.

Yes... by all means save the heads. If there are no cracks (cracks are very unlikely) they should be rebuildable with only a slight decking in addition, to correct warpage.. (My 3.4 heads, that I sent off for porting, came from the back room at the Fiero Factory, at random. They're quite... resilient.)
The block is probably okay too, if you have someone who is looking for a 2.8 short block core. Otherwise, it'll make a great anchor. :D

Where is the parts barn located? So I can take everything stripped off there...

I've been keeping everything unless its cracked/broken or rusted beyond the point of reuse.

I have some stuff for the barn as well and need to but and grab sweats from there anyway. We can work out a time and load everything in the truck and be economical with time and fuel.

It's at TopNotch's house.  You'll need to make arrangements with him.

I had a head gasket coolant leak on a Saturn.  They milled the heads, as a matter of course.  I had told them not to mill the heads, but they knew better.  They never even checked if the heads were warped or not.  It was just their policy.  The engine never ran right again.  It sounded as if the pistons were hitting the heads.

I'll be there. A dozen donuts per person should be fine.

How many people actually ate 1 dozen donuts?

I remember the roosters waking me up early.  One morning, I was awake that early, and figured I'd get even, so I ran in there with my dog.  The roosters were not thrilled.  I made a point of "cockle-doodle-do-ing" loudly, over and over, while running after the roosters.  When the dog and I tired of this, I went back to bed.  There were several mornings of peace and quiet.
