I sure hope the shortblock is ok. As always, let me know if you need a hand getting it all back together and dialing everything in. The tempreture has been dropping pretty quickly lately, so an extra pair of hands might help get the work done in half the time. Good luck, brian.

That really sucks... If you need a hand, let me know. By the way, I stopped by that place with the car & I might pick it up - unless you want it.

On a brighter note - I ordered the exhaust & it should be here within the week. When all the parts are here, I'll call the shop to schedule the install. Thanks again for the info on Friday.

Keep your spirts up man. Its bad that it happened, but better now than in the dead of winter with snow. If you need a head gasket, I got one a fel-pro you can have. Let me know.
