Was: WTB Headers, Now: Motor Mounts Tech Day v2

[sukchew at cox-internet.com (Chuck Blue)]

Sorry I don't have a lift yet.I'm trying to be patient and pick one up for 
$00.I thoubh I had it made about a week ago ,but alass.
  I do have engine lifts, floor jacks, and other tools that I would be 
willing to supply in my shop.Soooo wait a little while and the lift may be 
installed.If not I've got a nice clean floor and lots of space.
