Im not offended. Im 50 years old and my last daughter is gettjng married in sept. The budget is tight right now but not after September. I bought the 396 for 1500 buck already rebuilt. They installed the rigs wrong as you probly seen in another post. It put a pretty good mark in one cylinder but i ball honed it for the new rings which are cast for now. I just want the car running for the rest of the summer. I choose to install new pistons as the scr was only 8.3 to 1. I am sure it will run a whoke lot better for now. The new engine will be a roller with aluminum heads after the wedding. Thanks for the info
