well thanks guys and I am glad to say I really would like the engine I have. It might ad up to be a little more on the money side but I will learn so much and I am sure it will feel so good to hear that baby purrrr again and to know I did it. I am looking foreward to getting my hands greasy and yes my knuckles even a little bloody. I have a mechanic buddy to help me out, and This should be a good time. here's to all the engine builders out there, i salute you and cheers!
