I'm not looking to do a build this big now, but when my timing belt or head gasket goes I might consider doing a streetable NA build, and this shop seems like the only one within 3000 miles willing to work on it.

BTW, when did you make it out of Victorville? And congrats on reaching 1000.

Hopefully I wont need a rebuild for a while, id have to yank the engine while parked on the street . Moved back here last month, was restoring a house for my girlfriends grandma, now its time to sell it. Its good to be back by the beach too! Thanks for the congrats! It took a lot of hunt-n-pecking to attain 1,000
