After some of the experiences I've had with shippers,I'm sure you can understand my trepidation at shipping and finding a shipping company that you can trust.
As you well know,you can't always rely on people and what they will take reponsibility for when they damage things in transit.
I've got more than one piece that was damaged by OOPS!,that they refused to pay for.
Can you say banged up V-1?
That sure hurt.
$2,200 Canadian and it wasn't even mounted yet.
Spent 8 hours fixing that one.
I'm sure you've made good use of the money I paid for the parts,and I wish you well on your new venture.
As to the new engine,it's gonna' get nothing but the best.
We'll see how it all pans out.
4L80E sound good?
It does to me,but will take some work to put in.
Oh well,it never ends,but it is fun.

It'll work out in the end.
Maybe I'll find a suppplier for Aeroquip hose that doesn't want to rape me.
