Just a thought, but as you total up your costs in machine work and parts, plus the time it usually takes waiting on parts and waiting for the machine shop, it often becomes more cost effective to get a crate engine and bolt it in, many of them even come with warranties now. I'm not trying to discourage you, just making a suggestion.

Great suggestion. Other guys have mentioned that to me also. I started looking at crate engines...soooooooo many options
