Fatal blow to the Never Surrender Vega

[h-bot]

Well today, I found out that all the time and money I put into the block
of my Vega may be for nothing. I was attempting to install my crankshaft
and it would lock up even before I would torque it down. Returned to the
machine shop only to find out that I had the wrong main caps to start
with on it. These caps were on block when I got last year so I didn't
think there would be a problem. Now I have over $1000 in parts and labor
that I may not be able to use. I am thoroughly frustrated over this
sudden turn of events that I can't think straight. The machine shop gave
me a couple of options that I will be thinking about. I am also looking
to find a sponsor since I have no more money to invest into this engine.
I have completely funded everything I have done so far. I just hope I
can still get this car done so I can race this year.

Just wanted to let everyone know what was going on.

'76 Vega HB V8<----No heartbeat for the time being
'89 Celebrity I4<---Daily Driver, maybe I should race this one?
