$180 AAA premier account, could get it hauled 200 miles.
then you have to worry about or pay for the next 100 miles, or you could have a second person get another AAA account to get the last 100 miles in.
probably cheaper then gas.

Put a posting and see what you get. If you are not in a hurry you can get a decent deal at times.
AAA is an option as well but they have some restrictions on where they will deliver (i.e., may need to be to an authorized repair facility only)
If it is going to a shop...definitely get the premier AAA and pay the last chunk.

Not sure what part of central Illinois you are starting from, or even if I can help. But I am in Springfield IL. My contact info is on the blacklist. I may be able to put you in touch with some local tow and/or trucking firms.

AAA has been doing this kind of thing for a long time. If it hasn't killed towing yet, it's not going to. I will say check your AAA RV closely. Here in Alabama (and Florida as well) it's only 100 miles for an RV, 200 miles for a car. But the mileage is dependent on where your AAA comes from, not where you are when you need it.

Bob, the value in the high volume oil pump is increased oil pressure IF you have clearanced the thrust bearings like many recommend to increase lube on the thrust bearing. We did that on my 403 when we built it but used the standard pump. Hot oil pressure was 35psi at speed and about 18psi at hot idle. 18psi is plenty at idle but my digipanel beeps at 20psi and that annoyed me. When I had the tranny out, I pulled the pan, changed to a high volume pump AND the hardened oil pump shaft. Now I have 45psi at speed and 25psi at idle.
The high volume pump put enough oil up to the top of the engine to get the gauge reading higher.

Dick Paterson also uses the High volume oil pump in his motor builds that he sell. He is after pressure of course, but he is also after volume of oil passing thru the motor. Can’t argue with success!

When you take the bottom end apart it would be interesting as to what was wrong with a main bearing? If it is only one bearing I assume we are talking about the thrust bearing? Also look close at the oil filter relief I am going to pry the relief out of mine as it looks like the disc is worn and leaking by at times. I will fix it of course and put it back in.

No argument. I said last week that I'd get back and report on what I found wrong with Glen, and BJ's coach for the new owners. So I did. And there's a thought out there that a high volume pumps are better for lubricating engines. High volume oil pumps are useful on good condition engines that you add any item that requires oil for that items operation. Like turbo chargers,or an extra oil cooler. Another application would be if you had an engine that has excessive bearing clearance that will let excess oil pass between the bearing and it's mating cam, or crankshaft. It's the only way to increase you oil pressure in a warn out engine because oil demand is higher then the stock pump can deliver. If a high volume oil pump is installed in an engine that is in good condition. The excesses oil that is pumped will just be sent back to the bottom of the oil pan by the relief valve. There will be no extra oil put into suspension to cool the bottom of the pistons. The relief valve wi
ll dump this oil at 35 PSI. This pumping oil back to the pan will waste HP to move this extra oil, and produce extra heat. And put extra load on the oil pump drive that GM didn't design for. So no argument. Just the facts. Bob Dunahugh

Needs to be hauled from central Illinois to central Missouri. Engine isn't running. A friend bought it. I'm just trying to help. Bob Dunahugh Member GMCMI

700 is a good price. I paid a grand to have my parts coach hauled about 300 miles from Macon Ga. I used UShip. The only snag was I had to hire a roll back to pick the coach up and get it high enough so it would go on the trailer because the air bags wouldn't air up.
