Couldn't afford punctuation either I see.........

Have they said what caused it? Overheating, oil pump failure?
Strange for a 4l old slug to lock up.

Get a motor from a wrecker for $1000 and do a transplant.

I thought he was talking about his Merc diesel powered Commander Richo.

That is tough news 96E. No chance of getting a second hand one from a wreck is there?

Have decided to get it freighted back to the Hill and pull it down myself. See what happened? Maybe chase bits up then.

Nice vehicle when its good, but two rides on the tilt tray a long way from home! A swirl motor replacement. Now we got a seized engine. This car has always been serviced and I have done less than 45k in it.

What a dilemma. Good luck.
