Update, current ideas for plan of action... 140-160

I'm going to get a 75 motor from a friend Sean down here in Corvallis. It supposedly is in pretty good shape, is up for a thrashing, and only smokes a little bit upon startup(what does that mean again? that could just be cold start valve crap from the FI right?). Supposedly doesn't leak anything either...

Here's the problem though, I need somewhere to do the swap, and some people to help me out, for cheap(free, or almost preferably). Shayne said he's up for it, but he usually charges(although not too much). I know there's some people in my area, does anyone wanna help out?

And then another thing is that my car is up in portland, and the engine is down here in corvallis... I can use my parent's caravan to transport the engine around, and then i can use AAA to get my car around, but only so far.(i'm not sure exactly how far i can go with that, it hasn't been towed yet this year, so it should hopefully be quite a distance...)
