    Jeff,
    Called David this morning. Now just need to wait for the money tree to grow a little more so I can go ahead with it. :026:

    James - if you haven't already, start collecting spares. A well used but rebuildable 16v should be available for $100 or less - look for one that was removed for a VR6 swap and take EVERYTHING that the seller doesn't want.

    It's easier to send your spare engine to the builder than to give them your ONLY engine.
