Hey guys hows it goin? I know I'm new to this forum and all but it seems like a great place! Anyways. I've got a Probe sittin in the garage that I would love to have running by the time school starts (September 5th). Now I'm not gonna lie, I'm only 17 and I don't know A whole hell of alot about all this stuff yet (*Im studying it this year in school :thup: ) But now after saying that, I'm not your average dummy that doesn't know the difference between the shifter knob and a piston rod. I'm going to be buying moz 21's engine from him verry soon. Now I was wondering if there were a few guys arround my area that could possibly help me take out and install the new engine.. I have most all the tools we should need-I think lol. And I'll have an aircompressor as well. The main catch is that I don't have much money at all after buying the engine. What I mean is, is ther anyone arround that could help me do all this for just a few bucks, burgers/steak and beer- If your of age ;)

Oh yeah, and by the way the "Arround" I keep refering to is Coon Rapids area :lol:

Thanks guys, names Zach by the way.

Make sure you have a cherry picker or can rent one if you don't. Unless you have a tractor and loader or something.

How are you gonna provide beer if you're 17? :p

Plus, now that I've got the 12/13 and what not off, I will have time to get insurance switched from my jeep and get the probe tuned up as well.

Ok sooo, my trusty jeep is no longer trusty.. it's going to cost me 13 dollars more to buy the engine from moz so I'm just going to let the jeep sit. Now I'm off until this friday soo I have the next 4 days to get this done if possible. Is there anyone here that could help me durring these next few days and know where to get a cherry picker for SUPPER cheap, or have one that we could use to do it? Thanks guys
