Gilbert, by the time you are done few people will have died and there might not be gasoline to drive it around.
Con~o, get to work and finish up!!!
I don't want to be on the dead people not to see the end results.
LOL

Thank you. I'm taking the time to replace everything I can while the engine is out of the car. Do it right, do it once. I'm looking forward to spooling up those BNR's.

Finally after a long 9 months my the new engine is going into the car tomorrow and off to RP to get retuned. Did the wire harness and clutch stuff today so she's all ready. I really appreciate all the help from my friends and fellow rotorheads.
