PAt, If I lived closer to you I would definitely bring you the block. The machine shop I used to use is closed, and now I will be shopping around I guess.

I first have to rig a way to pull the engine, have to build a engine host out of 6x6's to get the motor up high enough to clear the boat... the last time I had an engine pulled at a marina cost my $1800 for a $90 oil pan.
