I 100% agree and often times the "chase" is the fun part. As to what I'd do if I get these engines... rebuild my savings account for one LOL! Though I didn't list a engine that I doubt anyone would give up (a B-44) that technically should have been in the collection that SlowJoey is selling but seems to be MIA.
I've have also gotten to know some really great people in this endeavor! Just yesterday Paula is getting me out of a bind that I didn't think I'd get out of (or if I did it was going to be a hack). SlowJoey (Joe) and I have talked for hours over a number of phone calls where only a few minutes is actually about a engine I am asking about. So this hasn't been just about "things" but getting to know very interesting people, including on these forums!
