<VV> Reading the dang manual ...NO CORVAIR (unless yours has aradiator)

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

I don't have the facilities to put the engine myself, and the only engine 
I've found is $685 + about 10-12 hours to R & R it.

For $500 I'd definitely do it, and may even for $1500, but with my Monza 
sitting there looking so needy (and pretty), I'd rather spend it on her !

Any advice on that price - is that reasonable ?  I'd prefer to do it myself, 
but by "myself" I mean "me" (sans garage.)

Anybody around me that can do it ? (Hemet, CA 92543)
