Welcome to the Stovebolt,Fred. You are definitely at the right place. I'd ask your engine questions in the Engine Forum. Get better results that way.
Sounds like you have a nice project and it must be in good shape to finish it in 2012.

Most of us (me) have to drag them home and spend the next five years "resurrecting" them!
Let us know how we can help. Its been said but needs repeating, great folks and lots of knowledge here. See ya around the garage.
