Oh hell, you said engine related. If that were not the case, I'd take a van any day of the week and twice on Sunday :headbang:

I have had the stuff to do the plugs and wires in my SC for over a month now, and had to do a clutch in the meantime.  two weeks to do a clutch ON a lift really sucks.  I woulda had it done in 4 hrs on my tc, and at this point I am waiting a while to do the plugs on it

4 weeks? wtf.. it took me 3 hours(not including the time it took the machine shop to resurface and flywheel). they're not that much of a PITA
