Guys,

Thanks for all the input. I need to find out the age of my block and will look for numbers this weekend.

Rick,
When you say "older block", what years are you referring to? Same with "newer block"? I am hoping it is an older one.

The mechanic charges $90.00/hour. I am not sure how he came to $1500.00 other than a lot of hours and a few dollars in parts! I thought it was extremely high myself. He has done quite a bit of work on other guys Cobras and Daytonas, so I assume he knows what he is doing, just high priced I guess!
