Thanks for the kind words! Like the Blues Brothers, "I'm on a Mission- - - - -" only this one is to save as many old 216's as possible from the scrappers! I've got several stashed away, and I'm building the machining fixtures needed to do the upgrades I've described. In the not too far distant future, I should have one of those resto-mod engines ready to do some dyno testing.
