I understand family commitments but as far as being accepted, like I said most of the T-bucket crowd aspire to upgrading to a '32. I'm single, no family commitments other than caring for my 93 year old dad. It is just me for my room reservation at the hosting hotel, if every placed is booked, i'll have you covered.

I think you got a much better deal than I on your 427. So far I paid $2500 more and got an engine with a coolant and oil leak, not a good initial response from Shafiroff, and no response to my $215 bill I submitted to them for the resolving of the leaks. As it stands now, if your engine performs as advertised, when people ask me how I like my Scott Shafiroff 427, I'll tell them "fine, but save yourself $2500 and the possibility of leaks and go with TriStar for pretty much the same build".
