Good point, guys, about the complexity vs. cost factor! Just hop over to the thread "engine lasted 20 minutes" for a definite example. Again, right on about the "stock" appearance of my engine. I put a little oomph on the cam, and those are GT-40 heads, which'll breathe a little easier than stock, but otherwise it's pretty much stock. I figured I'd get the hang of the car then decide if I want to stroke this engine and do performance mods, or bump <waaay> up to the BB's. It is a labor of love and I planned it that way. One night a week, do as much as I can myself, read CC as much as possible, the rest of the week with the family....you know.

Robert - there is a spot on the posting screen to attach a file. I had to reduce the image down from what my camera snaps at - I used Microsoft photo editor and changed the image size and jpeg compression. As you can see from my first posts, I went a little too far and it looked like a jigsaw puzzle, but I fixed it.

Roscoe - my father in-law would love it if I could shoehorn it in...but no, it's reserved for the cobra. I'm in a holding pattern now because were doing a complete teardown on a 62 healey 3000 - almost done and wow is it beautiful - ice blue with cream inset on the doors!
