Wayne, my Grandpa is back out of the hospital. He is on oxygen right now to help his lungs. Hopefully he can get stronger each day.
Space thanks for remembering Justin and I. We appreciate your kind words.
Ryan nice find. I bet I could get a title for it. Its about 2.5 hours away from me. Wish I had some extra cash.

Teacher, Preayers go out to your grandfather. I hope he get's well ........ soon.
I had a decent day today. Found out the engine in my '93 Shadow ES still runs. (good sign there)
Installed the old timing belt off my '94 Shaodw ES, had my dad hit the key while I watched under the hood "Just In Case." The engine fired on the very first try. No unusual noises - another good sign.
When and bought the new parts to install on the engine.
I can not for the life of me get the new water pump on.
There's a pipe that runs under the intake that has to insert in the back of the water pump. But, they stuck a bracket at the top of the pump to help support it. If that isn't enough they must have used the longest bolts they could locate to install this bracket cause I ran them out and they both hit the bottom side of the water neck for the T-stat. And it looks like the ONLY way to get these two bolts out is to remove the intake. (rather not go there)
I'm hoping someone on AllPar.com can give me some idea how to get this @#$%&* pipe in the back of the water pump. That is what's holding up the rebuild process at this pint in time.
I think I could have the engine back together in about 2 - 3 hrs if I could get the new water pump on?
