Scott;
Here's another contact you might want to consider and discuss your engine concerns:
Chris Dawkins
Dawkins Engineering
Monterey, CA
Email: Chris995@aol.com
831-394-1483
He is currently do a rebuild on my side oiler and sleeving the cylinders since it is an old block since I refused to go with a new system.
Chris is also completing a rebuild on a buddy of mine's Shelby 427 aluminum engine that he purchased from good ol' Shelby Enterprises in Las Vegas - the engine cost him a lot of $$ and ran only for about 3500 miles before one of the head gaskets went South (by the way, no support from the Shelby factory on answering questions). It will be a screamer when completed shortly.
Chris has also done a ton of big block engines (Chevy and Ford) and done some interesting vintage cars (i.e., Mac Archer's 427 Cobra) and exotics (Ferraris, Porsches).
Give him a call (recommend) or send him an email (his emails are short!) and let him know that I mentioned you to him.
