Trans Ferdinand posted:Can't you call up the bank that issued the cashier's check and confirm its authenticity before cashing it? One would think. I really don't understand how that happens. But somehow the banks have 2 or 3 weeks after they've told you that the funds are clear to figure out they aren't and claw them back. Like I said, I don't understand the mechanism, but I absolutely believe it happens, as when I heard about it it was a link to an article on the FDIC's web site.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/2953566490.html There was a baby blue 4spd for sale a year ago for $4500. I happened to be on craigslist about 15 minutes after it got posted. I couldn't come out that night so I made an appointment for the next morning, so of course it was sold by time I started driving over.

I like the LSx swap idea, but you can do an insane amount of work to a small block chev of that vintage for not a lot of scratch.

I live in DFW and have never heard it before. I obviously run in the wrong automotive circles. Also, the GIS for "slab car" is a treasure trove for the "You put WHAT on your car" thread.

http://alberta.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-1978-Ford-Mustang-Cobra-II-Fastback-W0QQAdIdZ350157918 Is this a decent deal? It looks well restored and I want to buy a summer car. Plus I think Mustangs are awesome, but I have no idea what classic cars go for. Would there be any way to convert it to a manual transmission? How much would that cost? I'm going to go take it for a spin on Wednesday next week.

Yeah you're right..didn't consider all the associated irritating electronics that would need to go into it. It's amazing what can be done with an old SBC with a weekend and $1000. Remove the smog crap, install the parts I mentioned above, and you'll be close to 300HP depending on the block/pistons being used.
