I am not sure the exact date yet, but it will probably be the end of SEPT or beginning of OCT. I will supply some beer! Any takers?

You are more than welcome to it and I will be glad to lend a hand. All depends on schedule as we close in on the date, of course. I sometimes travel (like you) on late notice from The Uncle.
But, Beer Good. Make Jim Strong.
Here to help.

I was going to pull it in order to clean and paint the frame, the front cross member needs to be replaced or welded due to cracks in the metal and it will be easier to inspect the whole motor (clean, paint, plastigauge, etc) prior to driving it.
If i can do all of this while the engine is still in, I am willing to not pull it. I didnt think that it would be possible.
