Yeehaa!!!!

 Just as a heads up, GOOD 3.6l motors can be bought for ~$1k. I bought one
about 2 years ago with ECU and harness for $350!!!! Granted, it had 212k
miles, but it ran when it came out. OK, so that was a smoking deal, but the
bottom line is that 3.6 motors are dime a dozen and $1k is a fair asking
price. The best quote I have got for a 4.2 was $3.5k with harness and ECU.
