V8 AUTO Block needed to borrow

[Bob <mx@snet.net>]

OK, here I am getting myself Waaaaay in over my head. Again.  

Is there a chance anyone has a 3.6 v8 block/crank/starter assembly they
either can lend or want to sell? 
I need to send it to kennedy in palmdale california to get an adapter
plate made for the 016 tranny in the 4000Q. They say it would take about
3 months tops.  Maybe steve bucholz would be willing to just donate his
5spseed motor to the cause. Permanently. Last I recall, when I drove it,
it ran beeeeeeautifly!  Steve? Hello?

Anyway, to borrow it would be great, but if I need to buy it, thats fine
too. Even a blown one would work. Thanks for any tips!
