Upload your photos to www.tinypic.com and then link them into your corvette forum post using the [IMG] tag.

It's free, easy, and you don't even have to create any sort of account to upload the files to tinypic.

I have been sitting back, thinking about what direction I want to go with the engine. My wife and I talked about it and we are on the same page.

Before I go any further, I'd like to at least try to find the original engine. It may be near impossible but I want to try. I have quite a bit of information on the history of this car that should help in the search. If the search turns up dead, then I will move forward but I'm the kind of person that has to try to find it. Knowing the swap was done somewhere around the Charlotte area which is where we live...... what if it is sitting in some old garage??? Maybe it's long gone... I need to try.

I went through the FAQ section and didn't see a thread on searching for engines but I could have missed it with so much that is shared there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
