I found a 98 Astro with a bad motor for $750, and a '96 engine for $450
If I put them together, could I make a few bucks?
Should I take Nancy Reagan's advice and "just say no"?
someone please stop me...

Why say no, Ron. Looks like an opportunity to make a few bucks. Nuthin' wrong with that. Alot more justifiable than sinking big loads of cash into our daily rides, actually

Kinda depends on how much you can get for it and how many hours it will take to get it up and running.
if it calcs out to less than minimum wage, I suggest a part time job sacking groceries
At least you'd spend most of your time in the A/C.

Do it. It gives you a project to work on and you could either sell it or drive it for a while. It looks like you could pick it up cheap enough.

I just did one of those. Cleared $1800 when all was done and sold. I say if you have some time, go for it.
