Message	The build is officially underway. I picked up my longblock from Kyle last weekend. It was just a small part of an insane road trip. Flew out of Tucson at 5:30am on Thursday, landed in Houston at 10:30am, flew to Corpus Christi, TX to pick up our new shop truck. Drove back to Houston to meet Kyle and grab my engine then drove all the way up to MN to stay at our lake house for a day and do some boating. Headed back Saturday afternoon with my Checkmate in tow. Arrived back in Tucson at 5:30pm Sunday night. 3500+ miles, survived on Red Bull and candy corn. Well sorry for the itinerary, here are a few pics... Big thanks to Kyle at IPP for all the help. He went out of his way to ensure that I had great service and I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about building a new engine for their Z. Now I just need to make up my mind about turbos...
