[V8] 3.6 convert to 4.2 and other silly questions.

Hey Chris, nice surprise on the upgrade....Most would want the 4.2 if  
they had the motor out, so you ended up with it without even trying.   
When you say "including bearings and rollers...etc", if he was  
planning on doing the right thing and doing that oil pump bearing/ 
viscous fan bearing with the belt job, then I spent about $700? for  
the complete Blau kit($450)/those 2 bearings, and timing cover  
gaskets/etc.  I got the bearings for $78/each discounted, but the  
dealer had them list for $115 or so.   The bearing is in a triangle  
mount, and I only found them thru the dealer(anyone chime in with  
another source).    Both are the same, and I used 077 115 136A  which  
was cheaper than the other one.   I saved the old and plan on  
sourcing the actual bearing and reusing the mount.   When I priced it  
out separate(not Blau), I came up with higher numbers/multiple  
orders.  Depending where he wanted to order his stuff, he could  
easily just be adding 10%.....If he's a friend, maybe he'll be  
ameanable to you getting the parts, but most mechanics make money on  
parts, and you don't want to piss him off right now.....Tom
