Message	I just completed my very first total engine rebuild with the (very much appreciated) help of Steve at about 6am this morning. We had to assemble the new longbolck, then pull the motor out of the slick (which was virgin...ugh), swap the rest of the parts from the slick to the new long block to make a complete motor, and then drop it back in. I did away with the PCVs, the ERG, and the water hoses to the T-bodies. You wouldnt believe how much clutter that cleans up.....amazing. Currently have about 60 miles on it, we'll see if it makes it thru the entire break in period (500 - 800ish)..... ============================================================================ I feel content when I'm excluded from the world outside No one can touch me, all my fears will turn to pure delight I'm walking on the edge and darkness licks my naked skin I'm dreaming things you're not supposed to dream And it's no sin Leæther Strip -Don't Tame Your Soul
